Red Ball Express Posted November 4, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 4, 2013 Hey guys, I just recently picked up this patch in a trade. From the very little research I have done is this patch a rarer variant of the normal closed coil 59th ID patch? Also around how much would this patch be worth? Thanks Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocsfollowme Posted November 5, 2013 Share #6 Posted November 5, 2013 Agree with everyone else that it is a modern repro. Here are three versions that I have so you can check out what the back should look like. *notice that all of the tails seem to have kinks, or small balls in them. Hence, the tail is not smooth and flat like the repro. #1. Open coil, no tail. #2 Closed coil, with tail. #3. Similar to #2, but looks and feels different.

Teamski Posted November 5, 2013 Share #7 Posted November 5, 2013 I wish I could get my hands on one in the first place! Years ago, a British made version was shown in the ASMIC Trading Post. Drool!!!! Great shots by the way!! I really think the first one is a manufacturing defect. It matches #2 and yet has minor threading errors in addition to the missing rattle. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
