Are you a dealer who is planning on selling this wing?

I personally don't like it but I am not particularly knowledgeable about the different variations.
Cheers,
Alex

No, I don't think it is, in fact, it looks as though it was made yesterday, certainly not one that I would even consider buying.

Hi Mike,

Thank you, I was quite sure my wing was original but I could not find the exact same in Carroll's book Eagles Recalled.

Regards, Michel
