Skyloo Ceremony Jacket Patches
Posted in 
Skyloo 442 J4
Recently I have seen several Skyloo 442 Ceremony Jacket Patches pop up on eBay. Funny thing about that is that only one was issued per person per lifetime and this guy in Germany has an endless supply. Paul Collett and I know how many of these were made and issued and the very tough standards that were used to qualify for one. Scan of the real deal are on this site and if I ever get my hands on one of the fakes - it will be also. If you have one please send me a scan. This guy has also produced a fake of the 311 Es-Kaielgu F1.
Skyloo 442 ZJ1
About 200 of this design were made and 50 of those had the word Honorary stitched on the bottom for adults that advised a qualifying team. All were awarded and nobody (I repeat NOBODY) got an extra. In fact the lodge was so tough that they used the same patch when Skyloo merged with Cole Snass Lamatai. The Wauna La-Mon’Tay 442 X2 was created so that the patch could reflect the new lodge name. I have both jacket patches and the X2.

I recently won one on ebay and I will have a comparision picture shortly
John will have the scan up shortly. I and Paul Collett are calling this ZJ1.
The blue background is darker than the original. The fake has a cloth back and the original has a plastic back. The details in the arrowhead and fdl in the fake are lacking. The length of the arrowhead in the fake is 31mm vs. 28mm in the original. The eyes in the native american are missing the white. The grass is darker in the fake. I can go on but the fake is no where close to the original. Beware these fakes come from Germany.
The counterfeit patch scan is now up.
