Curious item made from V1 parts?

Maybe, possibly made by an entrepreneur with no connection to V1's. Saw this out there a while back that looks very suspicious. http://www.cjbalm.com/auto-aero/aitem78.htm

Ah, now I see there's another almost identical it does me wonder if these are in fact what they claim to be, or just another scam.

Yes, quite likely. They seem to be tied together because of the Bill name on one and the B166 on the other (probably just a misreading). But they claim to be from two different V1 bombs from two different places. Not impossible. Just very unlikely. The badging on the front makes no sense either. I'd stay well away if I was you.

Yeah, don't buy something you will have a hard time convincing somebody else it is the real deal when selling time comes....."I bought it from a guy who said it was"....Good luck with that....Bodes

Geof that's an excellent bit of detective work well done , the piece is fantasy work by an entrepreneur.
