Default Polish RAF Pilot Wings J R Gaunt

Hi everyone - I already own a set of these but might buy these to replace them with as these are better. Where can I find out how many of these Gaunt produced? Looked everywhere & can't find anything.

That red backing cloth looks like a certain militaria UK dealer on ebay. If so, not surprised if they are fakes...

I believe it's a fake too, it lacks the crisp detail in the feathering

Default Tell take signs

The main tell tale signs are the scar down the centre from the casting mold and the ground off spru marks on the wing tips. These do not exsist on original gaunt pieces. If I knew how to post images I would post a pic of a good one!! Andrew
