1) solder spots on the back,
2) pin catch
3) rust stains on front,
4) date sits low,
probably 5) the swastika is way lower than the beading.

It's a Floch.

I have an EK 2 mm 49. Did not cost much. You live & learn.
Had an EK 1, the dealer took it back, though he was not happy to do so.

I am wary of buying an EK 1 Souval after that.

Definitively Flochs copy.
Best regards,
Franko

L15 not a maker and slightly open number 3 in 1939

Purchased a similar one a year ago without the rust but got lucky as the seller took it back.
Also the beading in the centre is not coming together correctly.

The beading also makes a nice F in one of the inner corners. The corner depends on which way up the frame has been attached.

If you've ever handled one, which I have to get a closer look at it, all four of the inner corners of the beading have a perfect 'x' in them. Also, one will never forget the 'wacky' number 3 in the 1939 date either. And, yes, the core's swasi has a very low profile. It's such a piece of junk.
