YS3 Fake


Blue Book: YS3

Description:       This was the prototype we received in January 2000, for our Blue Book issue S33. Basically, picture the YS2 in solid black including the black stitch around various areas. It is very hard to tell this flap from the actual S33. The two key factors are difficult to see: a Black line of stitching around the Black arrow, and no issue authentication markings (written info) on the back side.

Two samples were received of this patch. One is still in the possession of the then Lodge Advisor and the other in the possession of the then Lodge Chief.


Quantity Known: 2 known. No others seen traded. (Nov 2004)
Characteristics: Black with Red lettering; Black stitch around Black arrow; Thunderbird wings appear behind body and has a 'fat tail; 54x123mm.
