OPINION RETRACTION - Live by the pin, die by the sword. Well, I am going to fall on my sword on this one. Tonight at our local Military Collectors Club Meeting, I had a chance to examine both wings shown at the beginning of this thread. After putting them under the glass, touchjing, feeling and rubbing them I ahve to say I NOW think the wing with the pebbled background is a good, Balfour wing. Up close examination proves this to my satisfaction.. The roll-catch is funky, but the rest of it is OK. Never too old to learn something new.

I am envious but happy you had the chance to have hands on inspection. This is one of the great things about this forum and its members we are here to share information and learn something new. Now I guess there is another wing I need to add to the list of GOT TO HAVES ;)

 

Cheers

John
