Hey! Thank’s a lot for your message! This is why I appreciate TSS! But are you really sure, or do you guess?

I'm pretty sure it's a boot too:(

Hey! Thank‘s a lot for your message! Is it about the black border, or is it about something other?

Me too. The back and the border are moderns.

100% a boot.

This White backing is recent, wait too neat.
This exactly the same border as the First FUCK OFF Nifelheim boot made by Retaliation.

And even the waving is too clean for a real vintage patch, here's a reference:

The needle they had back in the days, had not the same super close touch beetween the thread that we have now.
That's why there's sometimes some "black little holes" in the artwork.
(at least for high quality patches, not the razamataz craps with their cheap machines.)

Here's the only Black Border vintage I'm aware of, the difference is pretty clear:

Still fucking cool!
Cheers!

The border is always the give-away; vintage patches had much wider and looser borders than modern patches. Also notice the 'freckles" on the vintage one, these are from the old way of weaving. Patches created in the 2000s and onward tend to just have a smooth surface area.
