Allan H. Posted September 5, 2019 Share #3 Posted September 5, 2019 You assume correctly. Neither wing is an original. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil.co1 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted September 6, 2019 what about this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted September 6, 2019 Share #6 Posted September 6, 2019 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. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.co1 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted September 6, 2019 Thanks P, it sold earlier today for $50. Did look the part but not something I`m familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
