Very weird backpatch. Though it looks cool.
Never seen this before too. Do you have pictures of the backing and a detailed pic of the border?
Looks photo printed too me. 🤔

Hey! Just added some pictures to it now:-)

Yes, it is an unusual backpatch. Maybe a test run?

RottingChris's picture

It's very unusual.
Normally those backpatches wirh copyright like that were screen printed

It is! The other ones I have (and that are known as well) have a different way of printing.

Just saw that you run eddiesbattlevest. That's cool! I was hoping to see it on there hehe.

RottingChris's picture

Yeah, that's right 😎
Of course it would be nice to have a picture on EBV. I have a page for contribution: https://www.eddiesbattlevest.com/contribute/

ha ha I'm sure this will motivate him even more.

Of course we've been in touch:-)

He just gave a great input to it: The layout of this one is very similiar as on the Death - Human backpatches. Of course, the copyright is different, but other than that it does seem to be almost the same. Since I don't have a Human BP myself, I can't speak for the printing technique being the same. But it looks like it.

Some TSS-archeology at X-Mas!

There is a Dismember: Indecent and Obscene and also an Exploited: Massacre patch with the same white bar at the bottom for copyright. It's a rare format for BPs but not unheard of! Seeing an Iron Maiden BP with that caught me off guard. I wonder if there is other Maiden BPs produced by Razmataz, most of them only say Iron Maiden Holdings.

Oh wow that's right!

A quick search on TSS led me to this piece Voidcrew owns: https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/iron-maiden-live-donington-1992-iron-maid...

The copyright, "Made in England" as well as the Razamataz lettering are placed the same way as this one here:-)

I have a Human backpatch and a Broken Bones in the same line as those mentioned and I would say that both are photo-printed, and I get the impression that all razamataz maidens after this one are photo-printed as well.

I agree mate. I'm not at home to check, but I think that the Sands of Time might actually be screen printed. If I remember correctly it has that kind of texture to it.

RottingChris's picture

It's definitely screen printed 😎🤘🏻

@Megazero: "he just screwed up his post of all licensed 1981-1995 backpatches with this"

That was exactly the first thing I was thinking when I saw this upload 😂😂 It took me many many years to get my hands on 'all the back patches' and within a year my post is outdated 😂😂

Great to see that 30 years down the line we are still discovering new patches. So nice for the community to completely nerd out on 🤘 It shows how lively this great community is 🤘

Tim Preston at Razamataz doesn't seem to know much more about this backpatch either, other than it being original:-)
