L15 Iron Cross questions

[Kbraafladt]

Hey guys,
I have another one for you. This was given to me to see if I thought it was real or not and so I started doing research and found some flaws from what the book says this maker is susposed to be! I was using Iron Cross of 1939 by Williamson.
It says that the L15 maker is susposed to have very distinctive "rounded" points to the center of the cross, also the pin on this one is different and the catch on the back is shown in the book as a round one the example I have is square. The cross has a low swastica as well. Any thoughts? Do you guys think this is a good one or is the book correct that every L15 had these differences from other Iron Cross makers.
Thanks,
Kevin

Although it is not the most desired or accepted "L15", your cross is generally considered to be good.
Here's another one.

For me it is a good one! A typical textbook F. Orth, Wien (L15)!

Just for the record Orth had the LDO code L/14.
