beerdragon54 Posted March 12, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2019 I know very little about wings and picked this one up recently. The New York is vertical and Meyer is horizontal in the logo. I haven’t seen one like it. Any good? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rooster Posted March 12, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 12, 2019 I hate to declare it a restrike but to me thats what the wing is. Its got the wrong pin, should be a knob sticking out at the end where the hinge is... How far does the pin open? If it opens 180 degress, thats a bad sign and from the looks of it, it does. the edges and the whole back side has been ground down. Probably to get rid of the black laquer applied to the restrikes. Looks like a restrike to me. Also go to search in wings and search meyers. Read up. Always try to post a pic before you buy. The best tells for Meyer is The shield, meyer inc NY and sterling and the pin open no more than 80 degrees. But that varies. sometimes theres no sterling Sometimes theres just the shield etc etc . but the main prob w the wing above is the ground down back, wrong sterling font too big. The black on the shield the wrong pin. Return it if you can. IMHO........

beerdragon54 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted March 12, 2019 I agree with your assessment. I picked it up dirt cheap in a box lot. The pin opens 180 degrees. Thanks for the second opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
