Cased KVK I

[Steve DT]

I got this back in 2008, from what I've read I'm sure that I've been Floched. I read that for a while the ones with the oval plate were thought to be good, but now it's thought that all L15's are bad. Does anyone remember the timeline? I'm just trying to see how I should feel about the dealer who sold this to me. I don't suppose there's any chance the case is good?
Thanks!
Steve

Sorry, put the obverse in twice by mistake. Here's the reverse.

I always had that style of KvK 1 down as original. When were all L15 pieces declared fake?

[Steve DT]

Hmm...well, I certainly hope I'm wrong! hopefully we'll get some other input.
Thanks,
Steve

As Dietrich reported in his book, L15 mark was used by "Mr. FLOCH" in postwar assemblies, first using leftover parts and later with new made (fake) parts.
The fact is you can find original TR production parts from different suppliers but postwar mounted (comissioned by Mr. Floch) and marked as L15. You can also find postwar Floch fakes with the very same mark.
Anyway L15 means postwar assembly or postwar fake.

Ok so it's definitely fake, Can I assume the case is too?
Thanks,
S
