This is a kite directly from a veteran .. and is 100% ..
Problem these days, is that these ARE being copied to a fairly high standard ..
Basic rules ....
They were stamped in brass, flash plated, and thus a couple of polishings wares through to the brass.
The back fixing is a prong vee pointed at both ends, lightly soldered on.
The details however must be there ... parachutists belt, boots, and clearly defined rigging lines ..
No rough cast aluminium ....
I asked the question about these para collars. Further back in the thread there is mention of the detail; boots belt etc. I don't think this is present so my gut feeling is that these are not good. I'd be very interested to hear what the experts say.
