Patches and Pins

[1gunsnotenough]

Some more of the memorabilia that I picked up. Top left RCA I can't find online anyone know what year it's from. I have multiple of some of the patches and would do some trading for any Ruger MKII pistol patches or other MKII memorabilia.

The RCA auto patch is the first RCA patch. Heard once only 300 produced. So that is the toughie. Yours looks like an original, but there are fakes, the most noticeable of which is on a yellow colored material.
The RCA Single-Six patch was the 2nd patch... probably 1976/1978. Not common, but you see more of those than the auto patch for sure.
Then the silver eagle patch is the Australian patch. There are a bunch of fakes of that. The genuine article does not have a glue back. It is probably just as tough to come by as the RCA auto patch, probably since it was meant for Australia.

I think the silver eagle patch shown,, (representing the Australian patch) is one of the fakes. The neck of the eagle is not quite right. Too skinny.

Picked these up a few years ago as a LGS give away promo thing.
Have any value or common as dirt?
