Pilots Wings, Original or Fake?

[popskipa]

I would appreciate the opinion of the forum.

Are these wings original or fake? If original what time period, WW2?

Many thanks, Keith

Backs...

...look like copies to me, I certainly wouldn't have them in my wings collection. Thread and backing is wrong as is the padding.

Bottom is a bad fake of a Rhodesian WWII (Kings Crown) pilot's wing.

Now on eBay for the "experts" to buy or leave as they see fit.

I hadn't seen fakes of these up til now but as soon as I saw them I thought they looked off. Just more stuff to look out for....
Cheers,

Awful fakes, they really don't come any worse or thankfully, obvious, for that matter.

Keith why have you got this listed as a WW2 Rhodesian Airforce Pilots Wing when I told you on this thread that it was a fake?
Your business I suppose but it won't help your reputation.

I had to LOL when I read the description which includes "WW2" AND "Used" really? used by who exactly? certainly not the Rhodesian Air Force!

You not only get a fake Frank but you also get conned because he has the item sent through ebays ripoff Global Shipping Programme. Come in sucker.

Hello Peter,
Yes indeed and I would certainly not be happy with the other wings, interestingly, these also described as "WW2" AND "Used"
Kind regards Frank
