Bullion 101st Patch Authenticity

[John4022]

Hi guys, what do you think about this 101st patch? I'm thinking it could be Japanese made.

 

Thank you,

John

Not Japanese bullion.

[John4022]

Thank you! The closest match I could find was on this forum and it was deemed Japanese made. Maybe its British?

EBay is blowing up with those two auctions for sure. Everyone is already watching them.

Yes I have already told the seller not to end them early. She has already got offers around $1250.

I also let her know the 101st patches are where the moneys at and thats why she just posted better photos.

 

Anyone know the origin of these two patches? German-Britain-Japan-Pakistan?

I can’t find a similar one in the Keller, Angolia, Delaitre, or Bando patch books. The bullion looks different. 

 

I always wonder about the backs being covered up. Having said that, I have no clue if the ones on eBay are real or not.

 

But I do hope the bidders do their homework.

It looks British made to me and that's just my opinion.Scotty

Thank you guys! I'm not bidding on it but its certainly a nice opportunity to learn.

Following both these lot’s to see where they end up. They have both cracked the 1K mark with one group over $1100.00..... people are dedicated to their 101st patches.
