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

Here is a EK.1 I picked up from my dealer not too long ago. It was being sold as a Otto Schinkle for about $350, which Schinkles go for more than that. The cross isn’t a Otto Schinkle but Friedrich Orth. There is a common confusion of the makers mark L/15 (Otto Schinkle) and L15 (Friedrich Orth). But even after determining the maker, there are the Floch fakes which are complicated too. So, did i get Floched or do I have a genuine Friedrich Orth EK.1.:confused:
