IRON MAIDEN Killers Tshirt (strange back design)

Iron Maiden - Killers - t-shirt.

This is my first shirt, and my favourite one, I bought this shirt in summer '89 in a t-shirt shop in Pistoia (Italy), this shop used to sold official and bootleg shirts.

This one has Killers design on the front, and a very unusual design on the back of Eddie with a cutted head in hand.

Can't say if this is bootleg or an official one, nevertheless the design is very accurate, and full of particular, and consider that after thousands washes the design is still in a very good condition.

Never seen one egual, if someone have seen this and can help me please leave a comment.

Very cool. Bootleg for sure - it's like the before and after artwork.
Is that meant to be Ozzy's head??
I think my good friend Maidenthrone could help, being from Italy also. He has memories of a shirt like this I think.

Hi Fuggle, thanks for the flames.
Don't know the head don't seems Ozzy to me, the only similar design found is the cover of Maiden Japan, the South american version, where eddie has a similar head in hand (DiAnno?).

Bel back print! Ricordo questa maglietta era diffusa nei negozi di dischi in Italia nei primi 90's" anche disponibile in felpa con capuccio. Sei sicuro di averla comprata nel 89 dovtebbe essere del 1990. Era stampata e distibuita insieme al Brings your daughter to the slaughter come la felpa con il capuccio che ho postato infatti anche quella era disponibile in maglietta e viceversa. Sicuramente non un official ma o un bootleg o un under license per l'Italia.

Maidenthrone.... intanto mi prostro davanti alla tua collezione di maglie degli Iron... assurdamente incredibile ed inarrivabile, davvero stupenda e non oso immaginare quanto tempo passato a cercarle. Bravo!!! inutile che ti metta i commenti alle maglie... 5 fiamme a tutte :)

Poi ti devo ringraziare per le info sulla mia tshirt, in effetti mi sa che hai ragione, quando ho postato la maglia ho fatto due calcoli a ritroso cercando di ricostruire l'anno di acquisto, ma potrei davvero aver sbagliato di un anno ed averla comprata nell'estate '90 (sicuramente prima dell'uscita di no prayer for the dying... 1° ott 1990 e della data fiorentina del tour).
Ho visto la tua felpa di Bring your Daughter ed in effetti mi ricordo il disegno della schiena di averla nel negozio della mia città.

Grazie
