eric1913 Posted September 1, 2015 Share #4 Posted September 1, 2015 Looks very similar to the British cloth observer wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Ragan Posted September 1, 2015 Share #6 Posted September 1, 2015 I also think it's British. The old CAP Observers half wing had the CAP blue disc, white triangle and red prop in the center. This one looks like a metal copy of the Brit cloth Observer half wing and those were made in metal especilly in the far east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted September 1, 2015 Share #7 Posted September 1, 2015 I gotta say I don't think this one is vintage. I suspect it is a "museum quality reproduction" or something along that ilk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeK Posted September 2, 2015 Share #8 Posted September 2, 2015 Looks like the O and the wing are 2 separate pieces - I think any modern copy would more likely be a one piece. I'm thinking Commonwealth (countries other than Britain used this wing - Canada, Australia, etc) but maybe CBI made as the feathering looks hand chased.

Wingcommander Posted September 4, 2015 Share #10 Posted September 4, 2015 Not a commonwealth piece, at least not a recognized one. The hardware is wrong for something British or Canadian of any Wartime vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
