LuftStalg1 Posted April 12, 2019 Share #3 Posted April 12, 2019 That maker mark sure is crisp. I'll be interested to hear what the wingmen say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted April 12, 2019 Share #4 Posted April 12, 2019 a tad better photo of the hallmark would help, but it looks ok to me from what I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff41st Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted April 12, 2019 Patrick - This is the wing i discussed with you and Bob several days ago. You pointed out a couple of the die flaws including that small blob over the N in SYDNEY and those fine ridges on the right side of the wing. You encouraged me to buy it before you did Bob thought it was good as well. I have looked at the lettering pretty closely with a lens now that i have it in hand. The top loop of the S in SIL is slightly larger than the bottom loop and the L is a bit lower than the S and the I. I've noticed both of these traits on wings that were considered good. Also the A in ANGUS is not clean and has some "blobs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted April 12, 2019 Share #6 Posted April 12, 2019 Yep, I think its fine. I didn't recognize it from our previous discussion. That is because my head is like a sieve and is full of useless knowledge that keeps displacing important things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wings-patches2 Posted November 17, 2019 Share #10 Posted November 17, 2019 I have an A&C Navigator up on eBay and it ends tomorrow (Monday) evening. Ebay ID: WINGS-PATCHES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnman Posted November 17, 2019 Share #11 Posted November 17, 2019 Perfect, quite rare, beautiful, unique and most excellent Angus & Coote navigator wing. By the way, don't just look over the N , look in between the D and the N. Very nice spot on the positioning of the L as well Jeff. Just an awesome wing. This is one of my favorite Angus & Coote wing versions. Extremely well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
