History
I have several doubts regarding origin of souvenir patches manufacturers in Germany. Some info cames to me about BEVO ( Bandfabrik Ewald Vosterher) as beginning of manufacturing souvenir patches, originated after WWII and developed in 50´s.Is not yet clear in my research.

Other info about german souvenir patches came from some 50´s - 60´s patches with initial " TOBI", but not concrete info.
