EK1 help request

Hello guys,

Far from being an expert with badge and insignas, I need your help on this one.
I picked it up around 5 years ago for a medium price.
Now a friend of mine doubt that it is original. I'm not 100% sure.
What do you think?

Sorry mate, it's a bad one. Called a Floch repro

Hi,

Darrell is right. You're Floched. And for make you understand what Floched means i will Quote a Post from myself in another thread.
I made some changes at the text of the quotation. The reason is that the text was misunderstood by some people. Therefore the revised execution stands now here. The changed or added places are printed fat

Floch is a juwelier born in austria and works there. He never sold the copies in his shop as originals. I have heard that some dealers bought the copies from him for making money by selling the items as originals.
So far my level of knowledge was that Floch the copies never selled them as originals.

I thought so far that the sign with the missed / was made for showing that this cross is an repro.
Now i think it's only to go around away the laws. (explain this is a long mission and i think it's not important in this case)

[...my point of view changes till i heard here that i was wrong with that what i thought about Floch

I was cleared up that Floch only selles the repros as repros in his shop. In truth over intermediaries the crosses were sold as originals on the marked

Regards
Andreas

Well all Andreas says is not for now shure, as there can be a L15 that dont have the / that is ok. If you make a search you find loads off this L15 discuss, so for now some L15 are or can be OK. But im sorry ur one is as they say a Floch fake one.
