buxt Posted October 19, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2019 This is stamped sterling and with the "Meyer Shield" on the back of this Wing. My question, is this real OR a reproduction. Before I offer it for sale I want to know what I have you know. THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfrost Posted October 19, 2019 Share #6 Posted October 19, 2019 There are more than a few threads on NS Meyer restrikes. But there are at least 2 major problems that make me agree with Tod and Paul. The pin is wrong and the STERLING mark is wrong as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgee Posted October 19, 2019 Share #7 Posted October 19, 2019 Circa 1980s restrike from original N.S. Meyer dies. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-17Guy Posted October 19, 2019 Share #8 Posted October 19, 2019 There are a few threads on Meyer restrikes in the forum that some us have put a great deal of time in putting together. They should not be too difficult to find and you will be able to spot bad Meyer wings quick with some dedication. As other experienced wing collectors have said, that wing is a stinker.
