"Purchased at their second headlining tour of the UK, at the Glasgow Apollo (13-06-1980), with support from Praying Mantis. This was their second visit to Glasgow that year, having played earlier in the year at Glasgow University QM Union, again along with Mantis and DJ Neal Kay, which I was also at."
Congrats on this, I saw this on ebay and wasn't sure about it, does it feel and look like an old patch? It was really close in design to a bootleg I had but the only official one I had saw before was the red bordered one.
Definitely the real deal! I own both versions. Two bootlegs and this one, the 1980 authentic.
Mine was sold by someone who attended in person the Reading Rock festival 23rd August 1980.
I'd say its one of the rarest Maiden patches one could find! Congrats!

Yeah, it is definitely vintage! You can see the difference compared to the bootleg. I can upload an image of the back later :)

Done!

Cool Nice find. Haven’t seen that one at all before and is in great condition

I even didn't know it's real. I always saw the bootlegs of this patch.
So yeah, I'm very happy having it in my collection :)

Yes, it's amazing! Do you also own the red border version of the original one?
It's very rare, even more rare as a Run To The Hills I would say.
Thanks mate!

No, I didn't even knew there was a red border version of this. That would deserve a frame!

Yes, it is existent. A friend if mine once had it. 😁
