I paid 18 if I remember right, the guy who sells them is a tanker his name is hotdog or he sells them on ebay his name there is hotdogs_stuff. I have completed a couple transactions with him and I would highly recommend him, All his replacement parts are very close to original if not very hard to tell the difference from the oem ones.

Check out these replacement y pins and mast cap, can you tell that there not the originals I can't. By the way I am not trying to scare anyone who might want to buy originals of ebay, just be careful ask questions do your home work.

Here's the railing, TBH it does look a bit of a shoddy cast, you can see the scrape lines :-( I need to know now! Can anyone confirm this picture?

Funny you should ask....
the attention to detail is great look at the lines on the cover, this is the only piece that I got from him where I am going to put some work into it, I want to age it to make it blend in more with my not so white crane. Anybody have any ideals to age it quickly? |

Here is a good example of a sale for an aft railing on ebay. The price 124 that would make you think its an original. Way high in my opinion to pay for one but I'm cheap lol but back to my point. No where in the listing does it say that its vintage. I am not saying this seller is a bad seller simply its up to the buyer to ask is it vintage is it not. With what I see in the picture I have my doubts and I would move along. Not meant to bash this seller just using this auction as an example here is the link if you want to check it out

It looks original to me but maybe some else with another original can post a pic of theirs so we can do a side by side comparison.

This is the problem with repros. After a while enough of these will switch hands and even the sellers won't know if it's real.
