Size matters

Hi guys,

I have various copies of the 1986 original somewhere in time patch of Iron Maiden. However, despite the fact that they look exactly the same, one is slightly longer than the other.

The size of one is 12cm x 9cm and the other is 8.5cm x 10cm.

Anybody has any clue?

I know they are not bootleg because the person I got the patches from had a shop in the early 90s and those patches were his and also it's printed at the back "made in england".

Please, share your thoughts!!!

The one on the left is probably misprinted. Look at the gaps between the threads.

I didn't think this was going to be about patches haha, but what doomtilldeath said.

I have both these patches. I just think it was the same machine, just set up slightly different. the longer one being a mistake.

If you look at the re bordered patch of the same, it is the smaller size

. I dun think it really matters...I have 2 eaten back to life patches one long and the other one shorter..

Probably made in different zones - one in Europe, one in the US. 2 different companies with licensing rights for merchandising. I dnt think it's a mistake. You see here often the same patch with indifferences.
