March 24, 20233 yr #1 I am not the best with US stuff or wings but I seem to be getting a lot lately, I know these can be pricey so I wanted to make sure I am not selling junk. If there are any good wesbsites for this as well please let me know thanks so much!
March 24, 20233 yr Author #2 Forgot to mention I did check the "dallas" style wings with black light and no glow.
March 24, 20233 yr #3 Sorry, not a fan of the Dallas wings. I haven't studied the other styles you have posted as much, but have reservations there as well. I’ll step aside there though and hope to hear from others. Good luck.
March 24, 20233 yr #4 The other 2 have a cast appearance And don’t like the catches or hallmarks either.
March 24, 20233 yr Author #5 Thanks to you both for the responses. I appreciate your input. I am usually good noticing castings im not sure these are casts or at least not the style i usually see, there are undercuts like in the US that you dont normally see in castings. But i hope these pictures would help verify your suspicions. Thanks again, let me know if these confirm your first impressions or not.
March 26, 20233 yr #6 Appear cast to me and the close ups sort of make that more obvious. I am certainly no wing expert but the vertical lines and outline of shield, along with the perimeter of the entire piece appear to show no signs of being die cut(to me). The perimeter of the shield at the base (between the lines) really look like casting material coming together incompletely. I think the lack of crispness of the US and other areas are not just wear as the distortion extends to where they are attached. All just observation. I sure would like to hear the experts tell me I'm wrong with that assessment. Dave

Dave Thanks for the observations, i see where you are coming from and i am not disagreeing, i could go either way. im leaning towards the 2 being repops but some things are inconsistent with castings i have seen in other items.
