RAF wings

[Patrick W]

Hi Guys

Are these original? They look fine to me- padded version. All help and opinions appreciated

Many thanks

Without seeing them in the flesh, difficult to be absolutely certain as photos can be deceptive but so far as they appear I would be willing to say "Repro". The giveaway is the vacuum-formed type backing amongst other things.

Patrick,

In my humble opinion, the obverse looks reasonable but I don't like the backing material and the padded wing outline. Years ago, I had an acknowleged repro wing with exactly the same reverse as yours.

I hope Mike McLean is able to comment as I may be way off the mark.

Regards, Mike.

The obverse is weak in detail as well. Repro.

Sorry to ring in late, it's a repro for me too. They are getting better and better!

I agree this is not found on original padded wings.
