Is Saval still in business? In 2004, I was in Vienna, and happened upon his business address, but it was closed. I have a picture of the vacant store I took laying around somewhere.

The insignia looks good to me, from the pics. It is definitely not one of the repros sold by Reddick Militaria in Texas. And it's Rudolf Souval, nor Saval.
