THE ROCK PATCH 3
|
4 Illustrating how much variation can occur between conceptualization and production, this example differs, and fails, in almost every respect that can be judged. The Rock looks more like a whale. None of these patches comes close to deserving the description "Rock Patch." |

3 There's got to be a story about this one as it's such a bad example. I prefer not to use the word "replica" because every patch is an original in itself, and each has its own story. Yes, your eyes don't deceive you, it does indeed say THE ROOK. I saw this one on e-Bay.com. Like many eBay examples, it comes with the provenance of "WYSIWYG" (What You See Is What You Get). It has five risers. Any larger, and it would have looked like a bath mat. |

4An attractive bullion patch which once belonged to Frank F. Capitelli. The eagle is probably one of the better rendered examples of any of the patches, which sets it apart from the 'sparrow and turkey cock patches.' |

3 This embroidered version is differentiated by the rectangular nature of the object suspended below the parachute. Maybe it's a weapons bundle. |
|
| 4Another fine version of the way that a Vietnamese embroidery shop render a design cruder and less regal. |
