| Great set of darts, mega rare, these possibly may have been the orignal set before they could have been re-branded and sold as "Jack Hood darts" (as per grips set posted on here). [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]They had a cracking set of original News of the world flights in the box. These are Mint condition. |

| Yep that is exactly the same as the Hoods I had, it a bit of a puzzle really. A very unique dart though, thanks for posting mate  |

| Not normally a fan of the old, vintage and collectable darts but I really like the look of those  |

| I thought you had some already Mark?
Guess not.
I have only seen them a few times on Ebay, and in two occasions it was as Jack Hood darts. |

| I would just like to add Stuart, that mine in the Jack Hood case came with the identical news of the world flights as yours, and I have also seen another set on ebay in the Jack Hood case with the same flights, so it makes you wonder if these are the original flights |

| No, that was a set that got away. Like you the price went way to high for me at the time.
Still on the wish list. |

| Well, there simply has to be some connection with Jack Hood and these darts, although Dr-Darts said there was no affiliation, It seems a bit strange that there seems to be multiple sets out there in Jack Hood Cases.
Maybe Jack purchased a load of these darts cheap and sold them off in his cases ??
