History
(none)
Patch originally surfaced on E-Bay in September of 2019. Listed by seller "specialforces-vietnamwar" based in the US, but likely connected to an overseas manufacturer. During the summer of 2019 a number of lodges, OA sections and classic Boy Scout Camps saw a flood of crude Asian fakes of classic issues hit E-Bay. The seller used several different E-Bay seller IDs, with a new ID seemingly popping up once the E-Bay community members reported the fraud to E-Bay, successfully closing down sales under the reported ID. It remains unknown how many copies of this fake were made/issued.
