These are mine and yours look ok from the front but yes the back are a concern are these from a dealer OS or local? but need to hold and feel them as if they are copies they are good.

Well they use to sell for $2 to $2.5K depending on style of wing , but nowa days i would say $1 to $1.5K again depends on style and condition plus providence i would suspect the source was at the high end
