Robert1970 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Hi all, I'm new to this. I believe this to be a copy. My concerns- 1) The swastika doesn't appear right 2) There is some black paint overspill showing on the silver 3) The reverse side doesn't seem like others I have seen on the net . However on a more positive note it is magnetic and there is makers mark 'B'-(I think it's a 'B') - but I cannot find 'B' listed anywhere. Also the box appears original/ dated. What do you think? Fake or original? Your comments would be appreciated. Thank you. Robert 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Hi Robert, really hard to say with these pictures. Could you take a close up of the maker mark, the picture you posted seems to be upside down. It looks like an L15? It should have an L then a number but not a B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert1970 Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Thank you so much for your reply. I'll upload a clearer image of the reverse side with the maker's mark tomorrow after I've returned to the shop. NB- In the meantime I have included a further 2 images that may or may not help any. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert1970 Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Hi Kenny, You are correct it's L 15. Photo below confirms. What are your thoughts? Many thanks. Robert 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Hi Robert, I thought it looked like an L15 cross, unfortunately L15 is a Johanes Floch fake cross put together post-war. All Iron Crosses marked L15 instead of L/15 are considered post-war, I would pass on this one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert1970 Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Thanks Kenny for your prompt reply. I'll keep searching for the real deal via your online store and local auctions/ shops near to me. NB- Interesting read on your Uncles by the way. Cheers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
