Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast - Back Patch (Scripture Version 4)

Heavy Metal ChemistThu, 17/06/2021 - 23:55

I'm so exited to have added a fourth 'scripture' Number of the Beast back patch to my collection 🤘😄🤘 The patch has been used but is still in a great condition. This version is screen printed and thus deviates from the other three versions I have. There are still a bunch of other versions of this back patch out these, among which the very rare red border, so the hunt is on 🤘😅🤘

Thanks Gio 🤘😄🤘 I was lucky enough to get this from eBay for a not too much 😄

Love more this version looks amazing than the other versions

Thanks man 🤘😄🤘 I like it too 😁

Can you post the pictures of the other existing ones? It’s crazy how one thing can take so many forms. Wonder how many were produced of each and which is the rarest

I do not have pictures of other versions, but I will have a look this weekend on what is out there. I will post them when I have them.
Deathtattooguy also has a few of these back patches and he mentioned the following:

There are 6 versions of this specific back patch
Black border with glitter
Black border without glitter
Red border with glitter
Red border without glitter
Blue border with glitter
Blue border without glitter

As you can see for the Blue Border back patches, there are at least two glitter versions with different text boxes. So there might be a whole bunch of other versions out there. As said, I will do some research 😄

I had a look at what other versions are out there. I suspect there are more, but I found pictures of four other versions that I don't have. I also made a table for comparing the differences.

That’s crazy. Wonder what the need was for so much variation. Most 90s patches didn’t care

I have no idea man 🤷‍♂️ I'm wondering too 🤔 It seems a bit like an overkill, but at least the customer had choice 😄
There are also Piece of Mind back patches in the same style as the NotB. I have one myself, but there are for sure two other versions. Seeing how many there are of the NotB, it might be that there are even more 😅

There are two Version more...black border / yellow text / Logo: red + gold glitter ... and...blue border / white text on blue background / logo red + gold glitter

Heavy Metal Chemist on Mon, 16/01/2023 - 18:53

.....it never ends.... 😂 I didn't know of those. Thanks for sharing 🤘😄🤘

I think this is the coolest of the four! The black background really makes it flow better visually. Great stuff as always \m/

Heavy Metal Chemist on Fri, 18/06/2021 - 22:00

Thanks mate 🤘😄🤘 Despite not having some kitschy glitter 😝 I also prefer this version over the others.

metalmaster1996 on Sat, 19/06/2021 - 04:07

Congrats, mate! Beautiful back patch. This black background looks really cool, but the other versions look great too. Waiting to see the red border versions!

Heavy Metal Chemist on Sat, 19/06/2021 - 09:13

Thanks man 🤘😄🤘 There are many different versions of this back patch. Yesterday I did a bit of searching and there are at least 4 different versions that I don't have. I have only once seen a red border and I tried to get my hands on it, but the seller never replied 😐
