Could well be good. These five wing-segment types in hollow stamped form have certainly been faked, though the copies I've seen had pin fittings more akin to these on 57er awards and were fairly flimsy - a bit like the postwar hollow Imperial U-Boats made by S&L. The correct style pins as on the two shown here are certainly a promising feature.

Nevertheless, the only types I'd personally feel comfortable owning are the Schickle and Hymmen/Deumer types.

Thanks Gordon.
