Wow

I'm surprised, that's a real Schickle with the distinctive maker's mark.
It's the first KVK by Schickle which I see.

early <=> late

Well the L/15 and L15 are 2 completely different makers IMO. Someone messed up and started calling the L15 Schickle´s which i beleave is totally wrong.

Among the WB´s there are no badges with L15 at all to my knowledge but there are L/15´s.

Obviously but who is L15 then? What maker is that?

I'm not as thrilled as you when looking at your L/15. Maybe it's from DN but imo the quality is not there. The hollow center is another new thing, to me at least, so all together......naaah get out of here.

[Hans N]

Well what you think doesn´t bother me at all Frank.

Why do you think the hardware set up and makermark is a match to the EK 1´s made by L/15? Why is that same type of catch and makermark found on L/15 WB´s? Why is my L/15 a match to another L/15 KVK 1 class cross, besides that mine has that "dishback"...

Here is a topic about the L/15 vs L15...

Thanks Hans, I love you too...

Since you're posting your new cross here, you're asking for opinions and that was mine. Obviously not one that you liked but that's how the cookie crumbles, sorry.

I did a L15 vs L/15 search here before posting and nothing clear came up but you seems to have answers so please enlighten us.

I never asked for any opinons what so ever, just posted the cross to share that´s all.

Did you find any L/15 KVK´s then? Or even a EK 1 L/15? (not the L15´s that can be found easily)

Ever thought about that Schickle (L/15) lost it´s LDO license in 1941 and vanished as a maker... When did the zinc enter the world of badges during WWII...

I am not going to enlighten you what so ever, not after your arrogant opinion.

Okay Hans, no problem. I tried to make my replies humorously and failed, so I'm sorry if I have offended you.

You didn't ask for opininons, fair enough but when something new, to me at least, like your cross is posted, you should expect some commentaries.

[Flemming]

If you, or some one else, post pictures, you should expect the item would be discussed...even though you just post it becuse you really think it is a cool item.

If you do not like your crosses discussed, maybe you should not post them?

Now take f.ex. my last thread, I posted a EK2 that I really liked, and was only testing my new camera, but that cross ended out being a fake.

So if pictures are posted, people should expect the istem could be discussed, if for some reason another person find the cross suspect, or interesting.

Just my 2 cents on this matter.
