Ek1 - L15

[Me109G]

Hi Everyone,

I've had this EK1 for some time. On the pin it is marked L15 which I believe means it was made by Otto Schickle of Pforzheim.

I would really appreciate opinions on this EK!

Thanks, David

Hi David! Can We please have a close up of the Maker mark?
Thanks! Looks good so far and the L15-L/15 story is a beaut, Do a search here for both the style Marks...
Best Regards!

Maker Mark

Hi Kev - thanks for your reply!

Please find below a closeup of the maker mark. My apologies for the poor quality but my cameras zoom capability is not very good.

The maker mark is L15 , not L/15 if that helps.

IMO an original EK I by Orth with Souval parts.
The real Otto Schickle (L/15) EK's have another distinctive features.

Daniel

Hi David, I can only say that Daniel is correct when he says it is a cross from
Orth L15.... Otto Schickle made his L/15 sign on the cross.
And you may find some info in the forum....

Hi Daniel and Chris,

Thanks for clarifying that the maker of this EK1 was Orth.

I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks!

Cheers, David
