Hello lads. I have an easy question regarding redline flights. The ones in question are single pinch, full wrap, and have the sticker indent on both the outside and inside of each arm. All standard stuff except for one thing - I can't see a Redline stamp on them except for a very lightly stamped 180 about a third of the way along one topside of each arm. Was there a version of flights made to this spec, and if so what era would they be?

I always thought flights had Redline stamped somewhere on them. Am I wrong?

Many thanks, Bob

Have the arms been rechromed at some point ... chances are the stamp's been polished out  :-\

Bigfrawg: already checked that link, but all the arms featured have the stamp, and Steve - the chrome on them is shot, but they look so original to me. I'm absolutely sure they haven't been messed about with.

Steve P:
Hmmmm ... might be worth sticking some photos up then  :daumenhoch:
