Never saw a Iron Maiden trademark ending with 'INC.', my Wasted Years Patch says: "(C) 1986 IRON MAIDEN HOLDINGS LTD", like all their originals.

Nevertheless, killer patch!

The year of this patch is 1986, not 1988. I guess, this is not an original, or an reprint! I know there is a guy in UK, who remake this patch and sell it for a lot of bucks at egay!

Take a look here, for references:

There are all originals and firstprints.

Not original,
as the first comment said
the originals had "IRON MAIDEN HOLDINGS LTD" on with the date also.

I don´t think so. In fact I believe that this is the first issue of the patch. In 1986 Maiden started putting copyrights on woven patches. There weren´t any on the Powerslave patches. Seems they needed some time to get clever with the phrasing and started with a short copyright.
Bootlegs in general hava a weaker printing quality and a different kind of cloth.
Apart from that this version was sold
by TonyV, he always has first issues that he bought at the concerts where the patch was introduced.

    I believe these are being exclusively sold through NWN and Iron Bonehead. Wouldn't expect them to be sold during their South American tour, so I would suggest ordering one to avoid missing out on it.

    Check out The Lamp of Thoth while you're at it.

    Don't really see it, it looks more like Corrosion of Conformity's logo to me.

    Thanks! They're an old death metal band from Germany. Their style has changed a lot through the years, and I only like their first two albums.

    yeah the only bad thing for me is the shipping and the website interface. but overall a great distro, one of the few i shop at.
