hawk3370 Posted September 5, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 5, 2009 i HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS PARTTCULAR WWI AT FLYING TIGER ANTIQUES WEBSITE. HAS ANYONE HAVE A CLUE IF THIS IS A TRUE ORIGINAL OR JUST A REPLICA? I would lean towards these being legit. Notice the lever lock type catch, which is correct for the WW1 period wings as is the pin. From what I can see from the scans they appear to be struck not cast and the US appears to be attached gold which is also correct. I don't have a problem with these wings.

Ron is one of the most knowledgable wing man around. He's one of the handful you can trust. Dennis Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baker502 Posted September 6, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 6, 2009 I agree with Dennis, Ron is a knowledgeable collector and dealer, you will pay the high end on items but you know for a fact they are as real as they come. When is comes time to add a metal pilot wing to my collection again, I will only buy from him as I wont have to think about it..Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
