Original patch

Spotted this on a Harley Davidson vest that was being sold by the wife/ex/widow/whatevershewas of a biker. It looked like none of the replica patches that I owm or seen, so took a chance and snapped it up.
Comparing it to the photos of Cochese's cochise vest and production jacket, i'm convinced that this is from the same batch. It's approx. 9&half inch tall and the stitching style matches up.
I'm now the owner of this....

I was wondering if someone here picked that up. Definitely a real patch. Glad you got it.

The black border and skull surround is a stiff felt material. The patch needs a bit of TLC. No need for 4nik8's tea bags on this one, as it looks well weathered. I'm in the process of removing it from the black vest and will eventually get it framed. Ideally, a tan leather/pleather backing would be used. Even better if I can find an eastgate jacket like Turnbull did.

This could be the biggest bargain in the history of this board, right?

I'd love to know the history of this patch! I guess we'll never know :(

Great patch, congrats. It could be a movie one or a real HA's patch.

Has to be a movie patch. We have never seen a HA patch of the war-bird (I don't think). Just the drawing/jewelry. I wonder how many other non-fans have a movie patch on a jacket/vest and they don't even know it.
