It is smoothly joined to the tubular wings. The wings have closed rounded terminals. There is a collar on top of the wings, with a projecting loop extending up from it. Inside the tubular wings, the spring/pin mechanism survives, it has an internal lower chord. The pin has broken off. The upper bow is triangular in section and tapers smoothly to the foot.
