My collection so far of early Maiden tour patches. There are a few more out there to track down, but patches from those first two tours are hard to find!!
Yeah I think originally it was only on crew tour jackets so not available as a buy alone patch. I remember someone made a shirt run or reproduction patches that they sold on eBay a few years back but I didn’t buy one.
Definitely don't know if it was only for crew tour jackets or it was sold alone but I have one is quite different with the reproduction
I bought it from a collector in Canada has a page on facebook(The Soundhouse Collection) he just told me was an original. He was sold his Maiden collection there.
Wow! I think the rarest is that french patch with the number of the beast artwork with white borders. There were very few french press vinyls that I saw that were being sold with the patch together.
Thanks man, it is a pretty fragile patch too, its printed with a kind of puffed ink which flakes easily, I don't know how many of them still exist. The rumor is that 500 were made and included with the first release of NotB in France for the FC but how many of those are still around today? If I was a French kid back then and got that with my vinyl back in 1982, it would have been straight on my jacket!
