1975 RCA Brassard

[twriggen]

I am looking for the 1975 RCA batch pictured below from Hank's patches book. It is the last one I need to put together my RCA patch board. I'm not against also getting one of the counterfeit patches of the same design.

I'm not sure if I have a spare or not. I don't have time to dig into my stuff to see, as I'm leaving shortly. I'll check when I return unless you find one while I'm gone.

Any chance of a link? The only one I'm finding is the counterfeit version. Notice the difference in the yellow highlighting on the receiver and barrel. This is the counterfeit version.

I wouldn't mind having one of the counterfeits so I threw them an offer.

What is the actual value of a counterfeit? Price as listed seems kinda high.

 

[twriggen]

I offered $11 plus shipping, but I really have no idea of value. According to Hank's book there were up to 300 of them made but no date as to when they were made. I would guess close to the same time. Since there are two of them currently being offered on ebay they must not be too hard to locate.

Here are both of them, original is on the right. The counterfeit is actually a bit smaller in diameter as well as being more yellow than orange.

Throw this back up to the top. I've been traveling for work and there were a couple of comments/PMs advising they would look when they made it home. Still looking.

Btt

Still looking and now I have the Golden Anniversary Patch. The Counterfeit one is still listed on Ebay but no authentic have popped up yet.

What's the original worth? I've got one around here somewhere.

 

[twriggen]

I'm not sure. I've seen a couple of the counterfeits in the under $20 range but for whatever reason didn't pull the trigger on them. I would imagine the original shouldn't be much more as they were made in about the same quantities but I haven't been offered one yet at any price.

If I can find it this weekend you can have it. It's the only patch I kept out of a collection I bought a couple years ago. But I haven't seen it in awhile. I'll have to see where I stuck it.
