deep purple patch 1979-1980?

this striking patch is featured on the classic plastic like backings with tighter weaving from the UK commonly found in the late 70s - early 80s.
what’s makes this one so special is that it’s a dark purple logo on a lilac backing which is the opposite of the more common lilac logo on a dark purple background! making this a rather unique patch to own! picked up for dirt cheap and as a avid deep purple fan, this is a peak staple in my ever growing collection!
HUGGGEEE thanks to Cardboardcity for this one :)

thanks a lot, i found this under no particular “vintage” or “old patch” in the listing description on ebay.uk listing! totally meant to be! but my trained eye knew what it was with a simple photo of just the front.

had it sent to cardboardcity and he sent it to me :)
what a great guy he is!
