PeterL Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Good evening all,It's me again with more questions. First let's see if i have learnt something. To me, the attached LW radio operator/gunner looks like a late zink to me, replaced hinge and pin and someone has messed with the rivets and attachement of the eagle. Are the eagle and wreth matching or is a mix? To me i looks to be period apart from this. OK, I tried, now shoot me down Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterL Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 I need to study more, obviously. I guess that the eagle and wreth are the wrong pattern then, I do not have that many reference pictures (yet) on this one. But it is still a zinker, right but done well after 1945?Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Paul has correctly picked up on the post-war ?Souval? hardware?Wire rivets and one piece catch/catchplate. Well done, perhaps?. But anything purporting to be a period piece made after the war is just a lump of metal and will always be considered a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterL Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) Thank you all!Pictures and info now saved in my fake archaive.It seems that I learn alot more when I try things on this forum rather than sitting alone and think I know things. Perhaps my kids are right when they say "you don't understand anyting"! Peter Edited October 27, 2007 by PeterL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
