The Rooster Posted August 14, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 14, 2018 Well, I paid more than I wanted to for these but to me they are worth every penny. Im thinking Pre war in excellent condition and a meyer hallmark too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rooster Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted August 14, 2018 I really like these but opinions are always welcome. I have a fledgling Navy collection and a very small navy bullion collection going. I really like the Navy bullions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rooster Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted August 14, 2018 Im going with pre ww2 as I dont believe they used the foil in the wings during the war. Could be wrong. Could be after the war? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rooster Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted September 3, 2018 I thought I'd give out a warning to anyone buying navy Bullion wings. The images above suggest a wing that still retains most of its gold color. I am still happy with these wings but....... I have been the victim of Photoshop. The wings that are shown here are actually about 50% more darkened with tarnish that the doctored photos implied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
