What are the thoughts on this "Indian made" wing? I have not seen one like this before.

Hello Ade,

I believe these are for the Pakistani Army (post-war)

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Jack, thanks for that. Never seen one before. I think someone has just overpaid then.

Cheers, Ade.

Good or ugly?

Hi Luc, I would drop Gary Jucha a PM and ask his opinion

Cheers, Ade.

Here's Gary's reply:

The wing is good ... BUT it is an unissued wing !!!
at 390E, it is too expensive a price for an unissued wing !!!!

.. The price should be around the £150 - 250E region.

... The unissued wings do appear quite often, and are usually overpriced !!!

There is infact another unissued wing on E-bay at the moment ...

.. And again, this is over priced as far as I'm concerned !!!

Regards and best wishes ..

That last wing has been on eBay for at least a year or more!

[Gary Jucha]

Agreed

Yes Des, well spotted !!
That wing has been "E-Bayed" at least four times at the same price ...
The seller is a well known Polish collector from Florida.

.. Sooner or later the badge will sell to most likely a long term (and I mean long term) collector, as the present price will take a few years to be reach the same price on the open market.

As ever, if the badge was an issued item, then the price would be acceptable depending on who received it.

... Hot off the press !!!!
There's some wings popped up on E-bay which "I would not have in my collection" ....

There have been a few things recently that have made me want to get out of this hobby, this being one of them!

[Adrian Stevenson]

Very sad to see. "Private auction" what a surprise!

Cheers, Ade.

Here is another seller taking the proverbial.

SF insignia is apparently their speciality yet here they are offering obvious fakes as real

from Steve!

Anyone knows how much Steve's wings cost? I can't seem to find them on his website.


Luc

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Luc, he has yet to update his website but they sell for £10.

Cheers, Ade.

[lnijherald]

Well, I hope he finds time to do so soon so these wings don't end up as originals anymore.

I wonder what the winning bid will be on ebay, possibly a compliment for Steve.

Just curious: Did anyone here bid on this one ?

I thought it was a strange camo.
