Fake or authentic WWII Navy Fischer aerial photographer wing

[B-17Guy]

I saw this wing on eBay too.

To me it looks very rough, almost like it was run over, lol.

It may be ok, but in my opinion there are nicer ones out there.

Here is an image of an F-8 Aerial Camera that i got from this site- http://www.combatcamera.be/equipment/keystone-f-8-aircraft-camera/ I would HIGHLY recommend the site as it has some fantastic images of cameras and photographic equipment.

 

Now, if you orient the camera so that it is pointed down, you can see the viewfinder in the center of the camera on the wing and see the offset handles on the sides.

 

This is a super wing and I applaud the new owner on his acquisition.
