hirsca Posted August 17, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2017 Estate sale find today. I think that the one on the left is an original and the other is a copy (thinner leather, not an exact copy & colors, etc.). Opinions welcome. Any thoughts on a value? Many thanks, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageproductions Posted August 17, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2017 I think they are both real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Finn Posted August 17, 2017 Share #3 Posted August 17, 2017 I agree with Bob. Appears to be same artist to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirsca Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted August 17, 2017 Thanks guys. The one on the right may have been done at a later date when the squadron needed more patches. BTW, it is a Disney design. I'm waiting for Disney Dave to report for duty. Thanks again, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tredhed2 Posted August 18, 2017 Share #7 Posted August 18, 2017 The one on the right has not seen the light of day since it was created. Probably in a cigar box or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirsca Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted August 19, 2017 Here is some additional information on the patches. Designed by Walt Disney after the title character in the animated movie "The Reluctant Dragon." Approved 27 JUN 1945. Sorry for the sideways document. Look at the left most image--it is Walt Disney's original design with his signature. Click on it to upright it. Thanks, Al P.S. Any ideas as to value?

hirsca Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted September 21, 2017 I have collectors who want to know if I will sell one or both. What would be a price fair to me and fair to the buyer? Thanks, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
