Nice Late WW2 wing, this pattern is found with different colour thread on the back.
They are not common so a fairly scarce example.

Nice original wing, uncommon to see the black bobbin tension thread, most are white, sometimes reddish brown is seen, black is probably the least commonly seen. I have a reddish brown example.

I particularly like the stitching pattern on the canopy, that is quite unusual!
