I can guarantee you that Pat Laird would have had one in his collection if it was an issue. I can also promise you that Lou Carter would have had one as well. Two years ago I bought a Lodge 35 s issue that was obviously made by the company doing the F3 issue as the patches are identical except for mine is fully embroidered. I would not begin to try and claim it is an undiscovered issued I am sure it is a prototype ordered by someone with in the lodge to see what it would look like or to propose to the boys simply changing to a fully embroidered flap.

It will be interesting to see if more surface, and if so how many. Right now, I'd catalog as a prototype until we know more. Irv Block may have been a member then. Roger Sch. came in shortly there after. Conley's never mentioned seeing one. Thanks, Tracy Roy-

Not a lot of Boy Scout items yet. My eye was caught by item 120243932828, a fake cut-edge computer-made version of the 1962 Area 3-A Conference patch. (Two or three of these have gone for $150-200 each in the last month or so.) And another new faker , patch–world (two hyphens in the middle), working out of Germany.

Question: how is such a piece authenticated? If it is a rare new find, not previously recorded, 14+K is a lot of trust. In addition, I do hope it was a clean auction. Anything else just tarnishes this great hobby and deters future collectors from finding the joy that we have found.

There were three bidders above $3900. The #2 bidder bid once, and his 30-day bidding history looks like a normal Scout patch bidder. The #3 bidder did bid MANY times--although some folks do that, just trying to chip away and win an auction by the narrowest possible margin. #3's 30-day bidding history has the suspicious-looking notation that 56% of the bids have been with the seller of the Aheka N/C, BUT that 56% includes the 17 bids on the Aheka. So if that one item is dropped, #3 only bid once (in 15 bids on 14 items) on another item from the Aheka seller. I’m curious what constitutes bidding that “looks like shill bidding”?
