Hi,

This was originally purchased from the forums here and I now have it for sale. I prospective buyer is concerned about originality. Any opinions on it being an original ?

Thanks,
Pat

Pat,
I'am afraid you have been "Floched"

Yup. Floch fake.

Agree with the other, it´s a Floch fake.
I have also been "Floched" many years ago.

L15 marking (not L/15) is a fake mark used in postwar asembled leftover parts (commissioned by Mr Floch) and later in Floch fakes. That's true for EK1s, and I believe for KVKs too...Dietrich is writting a book about KVKs, but no much more info available about this matter...we'll must wait till the publication of this book.
