Default RAF wing opinions?
Hello

Can I get your opinions on this RAF wing, is it original? The backing has an almost blue tint to it.


Thanks

Mike

These are a common, poor quality, repro.

I am the seller.
Let's wait for some more opinions please. Mike, where are you? Needless to say, if this "classic pattern" proves a fake, although I have obligation to do so, I will take it back.

Sad to say I have never been a fan of this type. Reproduction in my eyes

In a word, no.
Certainly not one I would consider buying.
