There are both. He made many hand carved wood flyers.

At some point they took resin castings of them.

They look identical but they are very different in terms of collectibility and pricing.

If you have them in hand there is a significant weight difference along with the "sound "when you tap them.

If you're just looking online no they are almost identical
