It looks like a repro to me, but I haven't really paid too much attention to wings other than RAF and RCAF.

Dominique 19-08-15 07:13 PM

Repro.
 
I guess you are right David...
Thank you,
Dominique

Quality repro?
 
I don't like the backing - I have not seen that on WWII wings. It may have been added for protection at some stage later.

Regards

Doug

Good?
 
The wings were sold on ebay for about £70.
The seller didn't offer any return.

Dominique

They were good wartime wings. I was watching them.

Certainly not one that I would consider buying.

Although still an eye opener, I share your opinion.

Judging from the photos is a tough call. Having the badge in hand is a better way to tell the authenticity, but this is not always possible. Were you the buyer Dominique? I'd be interested in seeing a couple of good detail close up photos, they may help. I still think it looks good, but as I said, photos can deceive!

Dominique 21-08-15 07:57 AM

Ebay purchase.
 
Sorry Mike. I passed on that one.
My guts said no as my US friends say.

Looked good to me. I would be comfortable buying them.

Dominique 29-08-15 03:39 PM

Darn it!
 
Fair enough. Won't trust my guts anymore...
Regards to all,
Dominique
