Superb. Be careful keeping the wings stored with the paper backing. That backing is acidic. The natural lignin and other acids will keep leaching out of the paper. Need to keep them in low temp area to prevent. Thanks for sharing.

You have my jealousy

Guys, Play take another gander at these wings. I have a person that is interested in them. A biddiot on ebay He is making all kinds of claims which are thus far unsubstantiated. What do you guys think of them, good bad or indifferent. I pulled the ebay listing. Would rather sell or trade them on here if they are good to go
Thanks in advance
General Putnam

The reverse markings on both wings are not
in the 'typical' style of LGB from WWII, but
they both appear to have been
die stamped.

The cards look authentic, and by their
discolouration, the badges must have
been attached to them for
a long time.

The wings should measure exactly
3 inches across.........

Both are spot on 3 inches is there anything else I can measure, photo ect to help approach judgement?
I have some emails out to Wing collectors have to check replys
