Iron Maiden s/t mini version of Back Patch

Heavy Metal ChemistTue, 03/05/2022 - 20:11

I found this small version of the Iron Maiden - Roadie Back Patch. At first I thought it was a bootleg, but comparing it with the back patch, as well as judging the back, I actually think this is a vintage mini version of the back patch. I have never seen one of these small ones before. I wonder whether, like the back patch, it also exists as a black border patch. Anyway, I'm stoked to have this little rarity 🤘😄🤘

Thank 🤘😄🤘 It's always nice when you just stumble upon it, rather than searching for it 🤘

I've owned 3 of the large ones, and the back of them is very similar to the back of this smaller one, very nice.

Thanks Southern Rocker 🤘😄🤘 I also had an unsealed large one and I also remember the back being very similar to the small version. The details in the patch match exactly with the large one as well. With the large version being known to be a 'roadie back patch', I think this small version is a legit old school rarity. I'm curious to hear some more about it.

Yes, I believe it is legitimate as well, congrats on that one...awesome piece of metal history.

Dang Jeff, you've been tunnelling through the treasure mines by the looks of things! 🤘🔥 Amazing find, and definitely a serious rarity among the world of Maiden memorabilia - nice one! ⚔️

Thanks buddy! I was tunneling without knowing it 😅 It was a lucky accident to stumble upon this one, but that makes the find even sweeter 🤘😄🤘 Now I only have to find a nice project and make a design to fit this one into 🤘😆🤘
