Guest Darrell Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Based on those pictures I doubt either one is original to the period. The one on the right has the 1957'ish reverse assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve K. Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) The left one shows use of a rivit on the back to supposedly secure the bird, but I believe the bird is NOT seperately applied. Details to the trickery employed are fascinating!! Edited May 4, 2007 by Steve K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
