OH NO! not good Nick what gives it away? or is L15 not a correct maker mark for this award?

[Woolgar]

Its the L15, Floch used that mark, also the pin set up looks the same

Wait for other comments

Nick

[rory]

oh ok cheers nick it fooled me anyway. i take it the same goes for the case also, i may just have to take it back to the guy then.

[Woolgar]

The case looks ok to me, but not my forte.

The hinge has an oval plate under it. I thought that one of the biggest red flags for a Floch is a lack of the plate?

[Woolgar]

Like I say Mo, I could be wrong and other opinions are essential

Nick

[Woolgar]

Rory

Mo is correct about the oval plate. Your cross could well be genuine!

Sorry to give you a scare !

Nick

[rory]
