I maybe wrong but I thought the consensus on these L15 medals were that they are post war copies ??

L15 marked items were postwar assembled from leftover original wartime parts, commissioned by Mr. Floch. Later the same L15 mark was used in Floch fakes.
IMO, of course.

Hi, what you think about this Kuban Shield?

Then L15 KVKwS are genuine ??? I had one of these, that I presented here on the forum and was it was agreed upon that it was a post-war Floche construct. So I returned a perfectly good badge ???

Yes, I agree it is proven for the EK1s...Otto Schickle only marked with L/15 during a few months...do you have more info about other genuine badges marked with L15?
The only possibility is that this very same number was reissued to another maker, not the case with the EK1s, and very unlikely with other awards, due the known history of this mark.

The L/15 is the LDO number of Otto Schickle and was never re-issued. L15 is NOT an LDO number.

Here we have in the WAF market a KVKwS marked L15, as per your last statement that only provides support for early posts that this badge is not a wartime piece. I agree that L15 is not an approved LDO number and because of that all L15 marked badges should be considered suspect whether they are wartime components or not.
