Iron Maiden Steve Harris wrist bands

So this is something else. I've had these from since I was a kid. My sister had a friend who used to hang out with Bruce Dickinson in his early days with Maiden when they were on tour in Europe. She gave me these for my birthday, and assured me they were worn by Steve Harris at one of the shows she was at. I think it was my 14th or 15th birthday which would date these around '82 or '83. In any case they're really early, later ones always have his name in capitals but this one's in lower case. She also got me Bruce's autograph on a napkin and one of Dave Murray's 'For Yer Face' picks, but those have since gotten lost in one of several house moves. I managed to hang on to these though, they're still in pretty good condition as you can see!

Five Flames for this awesome piece! Very cool story! That connection you mentioned makes the wristband also more personal.
The one I caught in 2007 indeed has the capital letters, but also has it's name in the Bordeaux color (https://tshirtslayer.com/other-collectable/iron-maiden-steve-harris-wris...). Mine doesn't have the West Ham on the back.

Thanks mate! They're both their own thing though, nothing on the back. I think you can actually buy them as a set these days, I think every Maiden member has their own dedicated set of wristbands. To have caught one at an Iron Maiden show is by far the coolest way to get one of these though, well done on that!!
