Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse L15

[BruceV]

I bought this in the late 80s. It was sold to me as an original...but is it?

TIA,
Bruce

Can you show a closer photo of the maker mark?
Ralph.

Edit,
Is it an L15, or an L/15?

[BruceV]

Ralph,

I've added another photo. It's definitely marked L15, not L/15.

[BruceV]

I've done some more reading online, including threads on this forum, and it seems the general consensus is that crosses marked L15 are duds.

I guess it's too late (33 years later) to get my money back!

looks like it come from this series of fakes! I got done with this one in the 90's

[BruceV]

Yes, there are some unscrupulous dealers out there. Live and learn.

I have to agree with Rene.
I didn't like the pin when I first saw it.
Eisernes Kreuz are not my strong point.

Thanks Ralph
