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. 🤔
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.
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.
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.
@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I saw this upload 😂😂 It took me many many years to get my hands on 'all the back patches' and within a year my post is outdated 😂😂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 🤘

Hey! Just added some pictures to it now:-)
Yes, it is an unusual backpatch. Maybe a test run?
RottingChris on
It's very unusual.
Normally those backpatches wirh copyright like that were screen printed
karmadh6 on
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 on
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/

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:-)

The following Maiden back patches are distributed by Razamataz:
1992 - Fear of the Dark (https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/iron-maiden-fear-dark-back-patch-1992-blu...)
1992 - Live in Donington (https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/iron-maiden-fear-dark-donnington-back-pat...)
1993 - Hallowed be Thy Name (https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/iron-maiden-hallowed-be-thy-name-vintage-...)
1993 - Real Live One (https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/iron-maiden-real-live-one-back-patch-1993...)
1993 - Real Dead One (https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/iron-maiden-real-dead-one-back-patch-1993)
1993 - Eddie Ripped Face (https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/iron-maiden-eddie-ripped-face-back-patch-...)

There are some more official Backpatches with this layout and print techniques! Not only DEATH HUMAN or Broken Bones, there are some more!
For example:
https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/dismember-indecent-and-obscene-nuclear-bl...
https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/paradise-lost-shades-god-1992-paradise-lo...
https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/sepultura-chaos-ad-back-patch-1994-blue-g...
and there are also some vintage Backpatch without Copyright, but with the same print technique!
https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/def-leppard-rock-ages-old-backpatch
https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/saxon-crusader-sword-snake-backpatch
https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/iron-maiden-piece-mind-blue-border-vintag...
only some examples!

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