Hard to tell...definitely old Slingy beavertail look, but there are a lot of overseas companies making repos, and most are actually better than the originals. Looks like an old RK kit though & I'd like to play them! Stands look very retro but there are overseas folks repo'ing them also. I'll say it's a very nice vintage Slingy RK kit or a damn good reproduction. A lot of builders are really into the old Slingy look right now & there are a lot of parts people making really nice repo's of their hardware. Unless you can get a pic of the shell interiors, it's really hard to tell.

On second look, these are more than likely vintage RK's. Most guys building out RK copy kits don't use single flange hoops & clips...they're just too expensive. The kit also has that warm, I've been loved & played look to it...you can't build that...it has to earned.

Just my 2 cents.

What fungus said... an old slingy re wrap I think. That wrap is just to white. Nice kit!
