Man, this is becoming the fake report. Another day, another one to report and this one even more egregious.

eBay seller PITTKING describes this as:

oa 36 mitigwa RARE

this patch is the lodge before the neche lodge and is mint and very rare

The lodge has no known real issues. If it did, they certainly wouldn’t be from overseas embroidery as the lodge went out in 1950. This is a hoax. A misrepresentation. Its currently bid to $36. If this were what the seller purported it to be it would be 100 times that. The problem is, its not represented as a fake, and it probably cost $1 – $3 to make. At such a profit, these kinds of scams will keep going on. What does it do to the hobby when the buyer of such an item finds out later it is a fake? That won’t be good.

Actually one could argue this is a fake of a fake as it is a twill version of a solid fake shown on John’s oaimages.com site.
