G1 How to identify original flutter wings?

[unicornmagic]

Hi everyone! I have a few sets of flutter wings that I believed were original wings, however I just learned that there were some reproduction wings made a few years back that look almost identical to the originals... I'm wondering if there is any way to tell the difference if I don't know the ponies history... (mostly just in case I decide to sell them down the road and don't want to mislead anyone!) Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

You should be able to tell by the color or type of tab the wings have. The early flutters had tabs that matched their body color (more specifically the button on their backs). Later flutters had larger clear plastic tabs that may be a little more difficult to tell if they are original. Repros usually have white tabs or in some cases, no tabs. You can always post pictures if you are still unsure.
