after you buy your first fake Floch, youll know to spot the rest!! i know my second EK1 was afloch so ive kept it to learn from and a 100.00 dollar mistake has saved me several hundred later!
Great info on Floch. This will help many members here on the Forum. To bad I didn't know about this before I bought one of those L/14 Gold Wound Badges years ago. Oh well, lesson learned and I only lost $110 on the deal. At least this educational piece did not cost me big bucks!

I once flew in a B-17, B-24, & a B-25. Next, I want to fire an 88 round.
I´m stunned over the great numbers of FLOCH crosses posted
Here is a gallery showing the look of a FLOCH EK1. The same type of hardware can be found on the FLOCH KVK.
I hope it can be of some help.
Cheers.

Peter,
What are the maker marks of the two Floch EKI's?
Thanks,

Johannes Floch was an Austrian dealer in the 1970-80s he came over to England to visit the Arms Shows quite often, he used to bring a large amount of items over with him, as I remember he had quite a lot of original BeVo insignia, his iffy items were SS zinc skulls and matching eagles, close combat clasps, EKIs, lots of cap eagles in metal and a few high end fakes for high end dealers. Most of his stuff was sold normally before the show started to dealers only I think most of the so called good guys in the business were readily buying his items, I remember going to a show near Birmingham and seeing several dealers with the same items then I was introduced to Mr Floch and saw first hand what he was flogging. As he had an American wife I believe he decided to move to the States about 15-20 years ago
