Scott Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I was surfing some dealer web sites and came across this wing. It looks like a metal version of the bevo wing worn by Legion Condor vets in period photos. Any thoughts on the authenticity of this odd wing?Thanks!Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Here's the Bevo (or Bevo-style) wing I'm referring to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Williams Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Scott they came in both cloth and metal versions and there are photos of the Legionairres wearing both types. There is also known to be at least one German made type metal one as well. The Winkler one looks very crude to me, but I hope tp learn more as perhaps Antonio and Panzerpioneer may shed some light on these for us.Best, Sal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Thanks Sal. Indeed, this one looks like something from a cerial box. However, it's resemblance to the cloth wing above is close enough to make me curious about it...Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juvatwad Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 It looks like a made up cross between a Republican wing and a Nationalist wing. The fat propeller blades don't fit with the crown. Both examples from Bob Schwartz's site.Nationalist: Republican: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Interesting - it does favor the lower of the two wings you posted.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
