Marksman Posted June 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 16, 2014 Hello all, yesterday i won an Auction on this Balloon Pilot Wing made by Denmarks. It looks exaltly like the one Mr. Bob Schwartz shows on his Website (http://www.ww2wings.com/wings/usaaf/balloon/presleydenmarkballoon.shtml) I payed 18,88€ (~25,63$) for it - and im a little nervous if its a restrike or the real deal from the 1930´s. Something is scratched out under the Denmarks Hallmark - like the one on Mr. Bob Schwartz Website. Yeah you see im a little nervous because i dont know if its a good or a bad wing - i just find very limited information about Denmarks on the Web. Sorry for the bad Pictures - after the wing reached me i can post better ones! Greetings Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
