I found this on ebay from a seller who is parting out her late husband's collection. I have my opinion, but I would like to hear yours and why!

Front looks aged - Rear looks new.......?
Regards,

does the lack of 13 stars have anything to do with it?
I would pass on it. Also beware of that dealer, while SHE has managed to get away with it up until now SHE has been known to sell a number of fakes in the past.
Indoneasa did 11 stars .. not 13.... aged fakes look good
Howdy. The number of stars really can't be used as a determining factor. There are plenty of legitimate period attributed wings with any number of stars and x's as well with odd pattern numbers.
I personally own three HEAVILY documented uniforms with French made wings which each have 10 stars. Also, if you have ever seen the very rare bullion variant of the US wing made by the Brits, they seem to all have just 5 x's for stars, one above and four below. Just some examples...

Since no one else seems to want to play - it is trash. It isn't difficult to artificially age bullion boys and girls...

Note any similarities to the wing in the above thread (post 38)?
