5thwingmarty Posted March 3, 2019 Share #3 Posted March 3, 2019 None of the letter wings are pre-war. The ratings were not established until 1942. I have been told these LGB wings with just STER are post war restrikes made by Balfour or by someone working at Balfour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kropotkin Posted March 3, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 3, 2019 Yes, the ‘ster’ mark and the long pin suggest restrike to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-17Guy Posted March 3, 2019 Share #5 Posted March 3, 2019 Correct, any LGB wing with a STER backmark is a Balfour restrike. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
