Could anyone confirm for me if the eye with the black border is a bootleg? I bought it for far less than the blue border patch. Both have the Blue Grape copyright mark but the one with the black border is missing the "Made in England" on the back and the embroidery on the border is different, otherwise they are very similar. Thanks.
Both are official, but...
Left one - 2000s edition. Official remake of the right one.
Right one - 90s edition. Vintage one.
Same thing with other patches: Morbin Angel altars of madness, obituary slowly we rot, sepultura arise and beneath the remains, sepultura S logo and ancient mask,slayer red background eagle patch, kreator pleasure to kill, sodom obssessed by cruelty, deicide-deicide (long patch)m deicide legion, megadeth stripe, megadeth 1993 vic with bones, metallica 86 damage tour, metallica master of puppets, napalm death harmony coruption, napaml death skull with barcode and from enslavement to obliteration, venom black metal, cannibal corpse first album and tomb of mutilated.
SO - many many old official patches were remaked by official merch manufacturer. Sad... 2000s versions look little bit different (especialy borders). Your picture is a good example.

Thanks man! Really good info. I only paid €3 so wasn't too bothered if it was a bootleg, but happy to know it is original even if it's not vintage.
