Floch EK1 (?)

[Randy J]

This is not my area of expertise, but after reading the pinned thread on the Floch repros I am pretty sure this is an example of such a repro. But given my age and my need to wear graduated bifocals, I ask for your kindness and indulgence in confirming my suspicions. The medals is marked L73 and I have put a dot of paint next to what I perceive as scribed alignment lines adjacent to the clasp. Don't worry, I purchased this and another item (a paratrooper badge which I will post in the correct forum) assuming that they were repros.

I agree, and the pin setup looks like it might well be a Floch.

Just guessing as the picture of the beading is not clear enough, but it looks to be a Floch with the 12 oclock arm in the 3 oclock position.
