Tony v Posted May 22, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2022 Good evening all, just found this at a yard sale. Never seen one live before and I have no idea if it is real or fake. Only thing on the back is JFS. Any help would be appreciated. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwar Posted May 22, 2022 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2022 Why aren't the wings cut out like this original, among other missing details ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony v Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted May 23, 2022 Gwar Thank you for your help, I guess that it is nothing more than a reproduction ? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivydiv Posted May 23, 2022 Share #4 Posted May 23, 2022 The font or type of numbers on the 25 are different than the original also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony I would suggest posting a few places for better assessment, not my area of collecting or expertise, but it does have several differences, including the rivets.

John4022 Posted May 24, 2022 Share #6 Posted May 24, 2022 Its a reproduction. Gwar posted a nice original example for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony v Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted May 24, 2022 Gentleman Thank you so much for your information, it is a good example to show the difference as in the Gwar example. Good pictures that we all can learn from. It is great to learn something new every day, and helpful for others as well to compare. Thanks again Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
