Meyers airship wings NOT marked sterling

[Bob Hudson]

Over the years the forum has had many, many discussions of the re-strikes of WWII NS meyer AAF wings, including the airship wings. The re-strikes always seem to be marked STERLING.

 

This came in a box of stuff of a while back and since it's not an original I thought I'd check its melt value. Then I realized it is not stamped STERLING on the back. I guess that makes this the budget-priced fake:

HI Bob,

Not the wing expert on here by any means, but I've looked at a bunch of Meyer wings and I think its a stinker, sterling or no sterling mark.

Its got that laquer on the back and the shinny pin that looks like its opening a bit too far.

Prob lacking the cam at the end to prevent its opening so far? Place holder ?
