I will try to get a better lighting picture and when I can find my loup a picture magnified.

So I’m back and got a picture I guess I revert incorrectly, they don’t say 10K clearly. It looks (to me) like they say 10 then the maker mark. Not sure, I can’t tell, they have a great luster though that sadly doesn’t show up as well in the picture. Either way a nice set and sorry to disappoint that they aren’t marked clearly.

 

 

Thanks for the confirmation. I suspected it was rather unlikely that you had wings marked 10k vs 1/20 10k, which means totally different things.

Cheers,

Here's a Balfour 10K wing that I used to own. Marked LGB 10K.

I thought the reverse was quite soft looking and was unsure if they were original or not. Definitely real gold though.

This wing is very similar to the wing I just acquired. See my photos attached which are much lower quality than your beautiful pics.

Very nice!

 

Is it also LGB 10K marked?
