BILL THE PATCH Posted March 15, 2021 Share #3 Posted March 15, 2021 Wow, the only thing I see different is the skull, it's a little different then other skulls. But. 2,800 to much. I assuming Aussie made? Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratasfan Posted March 15, 2021 Share #4 Posted March 15, 2021 From my somewhat limited knowledge of these, I would say it is Aussie made. When you see them and the base back of the the patch is the felted wool and only the design is embroidered (and it has some to do with the actual embroidery style) - you can pretty much tell it is Aussie made. I've made a bunch of repros of these Aussie-style Raider patches, and every model I've used has had the skull embroidered that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted March 15, 2021 Share #5 Posted March 15, 2021 I seen these referred to as New Zealand ? made in the past but never confirmed it. Saw one other in a group that was part of a group that was split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted March 15, 2021 Share #6 Posted March 15, 2021 I think this was worn on a uniform at one time I acquired in a group and the only version I had seen of this patch at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
268th C.A. Posted March 15, 2021 Share #7 Posted March 15, 2021 A perfect example of "What's it Worth" what ever some one is willing to pay...I hope there happy with there purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Queen Posted March 17, 2021 Share #8 Posted March 17, 2021 An original sold on an unnamed uniform last year for $500 (which was cheap IMO). Rare but not impossible. I would think the value would be in the $1000/$1200 range. I guess this person just had to have it. The beauty of auctions I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
