BEAST Posted October 13, 2018 Share #501 Posted October 13, 2018 Big pics of the front and back would be better, very small photos, but from what can be seen, I personally see no red flags. Would like better pics if possible to give solid thumbs up. John Thanks John for the response. Let's see if these are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kropotkin Posted October 14, 2018 Share #502 Posted October 14, 2018 Looks like a good Norsid pattern wing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted October 14, 2018 Share #503 Posted October 14, 2018 I would agree with Kropotkin and B-17 John, a nice NORSID pattern flight surgeon wing. I don't see any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST Posted October 15, 2018 Share #504 Posted October 15, 2018 Thanks folks for your feedback! Originally, I had also looked on the WW2Wings website (fantastic site by the way!) and thought they were very close to the Norsid that are on his site.

MattS Posted October 28, 2018 Share #505 Posted October 28, 2018 Almost positive these are repros, just looking for confirmation, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted October 28, 2018 Share #506 Posted October 28, 2018 not so much a reproduction as something made to be sold in army/surplus or airs shows, things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParaOps Posted October 30, 2018 Share #508 Posted October 30, 2018 Gaunt Bombardier Wing. Hi Gents, Not my area of collecting and after scrolling through previous threads I believe these wings are no good. Could someone more experienced confirm this? Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cooper Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share #509 Posted October 30, 2018 Higher res photos would help to be certain but it appears to be a good British made wing. Look for telltale signs of the striking process around the edges vs. being a cast copy. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaOps Posted October 31, 2018 Share #510 Posted October 31, 2018 Hi John, Thanks for your reply. Hopefully these pictures are better. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cooper Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share #511 Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks for the extra photos - I am been out of the periphery for sometime but still have a strong interest. From what I can see on the small screen I do not see any specific red flags but will defer to some of my old friends that are likely more up to speed on reproductions. Cheers!

John Cooper Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share #514 Posted November 2, 2018 John, good to see you back! Paul Thanks Paul - I have been lurking and watching eBay I will be narrowing my collecting to be more specific and shed some of my current collection. All the best.

Kropotkin Posted November 24, 2018 Share #516 Posted November 24, 2018 CBI-made by the look of it, but I’d await more learned appraisals if I were you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted November 24, 2018 Share #517 Posted November 24, 2018 I bought them, price was ridiculously reasonable. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustywings Posted November 24, 2018 Share #520 Posted November 24, 2018 Nice addition to your collection Matt! And it indeed appears CBI-made as Kropotkin pointed out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfrost Posted November 25, 2018 Share #524 Posted November 25, 2018 I would think the value is a bit more. AC wings, even beautiful ones like this, seem to be less valuable than the other ratings. But frankly, that is one of the nicest AC wings I have seen in a very long time. Its hard to know value, but I would think well north of 150$? Maybe into 200$ range? It is always hard to know, but that really is a very nice wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
