Hey guys:
Are all the reproduction Flying A curved lenses for an A-62 National pump labeled as such? If not, how can you tell if original or not? Thanks in advance for your replies....Dale

Hello Dale,
The newer reproduction lenses are labeled as such. I have found some older lenses reproduction that were not labeled unfortunately. If you look at the Flying A (Regular) lenses original and repro side by side you would definitely notice a difference in the two. The font is slightly different.

I believe the original ad glass is also thicker than the reproduction glass.

Thanks guys. I thought there might be some easy to tell differences like the reproduction globe lenses having a whiter looking back and a smoother feel, too. Anyone have any experience in seeing these differences? Thanks again...
