Default Pegasus reunion?

Guys, have a look at these pictures. The Pegasus facing right was purchased from Andy in March 2011 (ebay UK). The Pegasus facing left came from a Dutch webshop last week.

From the glue marks, brown stains and discolouration of the blue thread to the rear I'm having the impression this has been a set before. What are the odds!

Luc, these are not original
Many sellers sell these at UK fairs - they are sold in pairs in small plastic wallets.

My post consisted of 60 words only, and yet you manage to completely miss my point.

Hi Luc
I think your point may have been lost in translation, I didn't get what you were meaning

They look like they were a pair at one time.
The orientation and size/colour of the glue spots certainly look like these patchs were mounted by the same person.
Interesting post.

Let me try to rephrase then Lee. I'm convinced these have been mounted as a set in the past but were separated. I found one in the UK more than a year and a half ago, the other one came from the Netherlands last week so they are reunited once more. Given the time and the distance between the two purchases, it wasn't likely to happen but it did.

Default reunion of the PEGGIES

Hi Luc,

I understood the post , and agree that on the face of it they certainly look like they had been together before.
