I have these 2 bird pins and believe they are Takahashi...They are not signed, and I would like to know a little about them. They do have the wired legs and I also enclosed a pic of the back of the pins, the back of the pins are attached by what appears to be a small pin (not a screw) They are in great condition with no fading.
