More WASP wing reproductions

[phil.co1]

looking at these, From what I have read I assume these are copies?

Both look cast to me.

thanks fellas, thought too good to be true.

[phil.co1]

what about this one?

These are all reproductions and more than likely came from "He Who Shall Not Be Named". They are "museum-quality" reproductions that can be found on ebay. https://www.pilotstoresusa.com/store/Search.aspx?searchTerms=wasp++avg&submit=true&type=OR

 

To be fair, he is always upfront that his products are reproductions (more often than not castings of real wings), but once they get out into the market a fair number of these seem to show up as being sold as vintage wings.

 

I think it is a good idea to make a point of familiarizing one's self with his products on a regular basis.

Thanks P, it sold earlier today for $50. Did look the part but not something I`m familiar with.
