Meyer Flight Surgeon Wings - reproduction

Dear fellow collectors, I have a very bad feeling about these Flight Surgeon Wings, maybe you could share your thoughts,

 

Take care,

is it die struck and does the pin raises 70%-90% w/a stop, sterling looks correct and the shield. there are quite a few variates to meyer's wings one has to study hard to watch for inconsistency for now in my opinion it's real

Based on the appearance of the findings without the flat stop on the hinge, the electroplated attachment to the base, the nature of the "foot" on the hinge, I would say it is restrike.

yea after viewing this again it's missing the knowledgeable line up marks for the pin and roller lock, meyer's always has them

Thanks guys, another great analysis, a huge thank you for the expertise and another Meyer land mine to add to the usual suspects.

 

All the best,

Absolutely 100%…a restrike.

For anyone who doesn't know what the "line up marks" are that donaldnol posted about here's a picture of the back of my 2" Meyer Flight Surgeon.  You can see the vertical alignment marks next to the pin and catch.  Just posting for additional reference.
