<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 101925, member: 54"]The three stamped marks on the item in your last link look like they were actually stamped using steel character stamps. Your example I think has marks cast in using a mold made from another set of wings, so the top mark is badly distorted and the other two are better but very shallow with illegible characters. Yours may be a copy of a copy, but I think since the marks weren't made with steel stamps, the chances of it being something made in China ca. Ww2 are nil.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
