Iron Maiden Cutting Edge full camo

Off the charts version of the full camo.
Potential test print/prototype or even first print version.
The 'Cutting Edge' slogan was initially used the previous year for Killers Tour promo in the States.
Perhaps they toyed with a new Eddie to suit that slogan.
Unknown if Eddie was drawn by artists at Capitol Records, Great Southern Co merch, or even Derek Riggs himself.
Design was changed to Derek's sketch from the 1982 tour programme soon after.
You can see the sword handles are the same style.
Print quality somewhere between screen print and heat transfer:
Original fan and legendary operator of the Maiden FC back in the day, Keith Wilfort, recently mentioned to me that Great Southern Co was trying out 'Sublimation' printing technique at the time. Similar to heat transfers, except sublimation presses the print into the actual fabric, as opposed to sitting on top like regular transfers.

Bruce is wearing one of these shirts in this interview from Montreal 1982.
No idea which version is featured, but it does confirm its existence at the time.
1981 tour promo
Comparison pic of the different shirts.
Still from the video.
