Any Wing that does not Have "AMF" or "HEAD SKI" on them is good quality.  They are all decebt shooters, but the earlier wings are the best.  After Bob Lee sold the company, the new management focused on noney instead of quality.

The value issue is the same.  Early Wings are worth more.

As far as how much they should cost, the best thing to do is to go to e8ay  under compleated items and see what they sold for.

The one listed above went for $86 but I did not see if it was an early model or not.

The White Wing came in a variety of forms so to speak. I have seen many that are quite different. I have a true Wing White Wing that is very similar to a Presentation I in shape and form but not as fancy in the overlays. It is 66 inches and 42 pounds and mint. A very nice bow. I love the old Presentation I's the best but this bow is very close. The serial number is S1455 if anyone knows anything about how to tie serial numbers to the year of manufacture. The limb tips are very small. - jwingman
