This is NOT an original one, even, when a copyright is given. It's a cool bootleg, smaller than the original. I can't say, when it was produced, so I set it to the year of the "copyright".
There's a comparing item here on TSS, which shows both versions.
I think this one was 'remade' with the original copyright but different techniques, similar to the Dismember MKC, Annihilator Neverland, and Grave "You'll Never See" patches. No one seems to know if they were unlawfully bootlegged by a 3rd party, or just a reissue by the manufacturing companies.

Owning the original, too and yes, its way to big for the vest, but it looks great. 😎

Answer copied from the following item:
Sadly not....there was a german guy some years ago who made many 1:1 bootleg versions of older patches...that's one of them!
