Default Indian or Pakistani issue wings
I thought that this sort of wing was manufactured for the Pakistani or Indian ABF.
I know that the Wartime wings are naturally similar in construction BUT to say the wings are fake is not 100%?
They may be originally manufactured wings - just pushed as WW2 which can be some unscrupulously or actually naively.
Just my 2 cents worth.

As they are being sold as WWII I would still call them fakes.

Hi Jerry.
I hadn’t read the listing mate but I have to agree with you under these circumstances.
I just thought the generic “fake” tag could put off some collectors from actually acquiring Indian/Pakistani wings if they looked to branch out across pra wing collecting from other countries mate.
Nice rank slide in that lot.
