Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse L15 Friedrich Orth. Floch or Genuine?

[KMcollector]

Reread my post , I agree it has the original frame and core of a Orth cross believed to be put together post war . The L15 maker mark w/o the / is what calls this cross into question IMO . Orth used ( L/14 ) or ( 15 ) - Schickle used ( L/15 ) . Regardless not mine so . The old collectors ( I'm only 69 ) wrote a 600 page book on it . The Iron Cross 1. Class in 2010 , it is a good read . Don't shoot the messenger just trying to help . Hope they don't mind .

Thank you. I personally question why it being post war (1960s is around the time I think they claim to start being made) and put together would they take the time to stamp it which leads to me believing that these aren't post war. There is also KVKs with the same mark. I really do appreciate you taking time to get evolved in this post. Thanks
