That's a cool and rare item you got your hands on. To be honest, I like this color more than the original. It doesn't pop out that much but I like it 🤗

Thank you! Personally I prefer the red one. But I love how this black and yellow one is so unique!

I've been looking for this for sooooo long! Lucky you! Hahaha

I got this from an employee that worked on the production floor at one of the facilities that made these patches. I'll contact him and see if he has any other Iron Maiden color trials. If he does have some that he's willing to part with I'll send you his contact information.

I've seen many auctions with these kind of patches, and I think from that same employee. It seems he carried out some boxes with these patches because he is selling quite some of them.
Seth Slater on
And that could very well be what he did haha! I work as a contractor in many food and beverage industries and I see employees at breweries taking three or four flats of alcohol daily that was rejected due to cosmetic defects to the cans or bottles.
Looking into th... on
Yes, without backing and border. These unfinished bad boys have become somewhat popular lately.

I have quite a few unfinished ones, did you get them from England?
Seth Slater on
Why yes I did get them from England!
Seth Slater on
Yes, it is an unfinished patch. Most color samples like this are discarded along with the rejects before they are given a backing and border. This particular one was saved by an employee.
