I was going to hold off on mentioning the fake Area 3A patch that has been recently circulating until I got to the appropriate year, but yesterday a second fake surfaced.   There are now modern fakes circulating of both the 1962 and the 1966 Area 3A conference patches, both originating from an eBay seller in Germany.   The fakes are clearly of modern manufacture, and are most easily distinguished by their cut edges (the real issues have rolled edges).

The 1962 fake has been circulating since April; just yesterday I saw for the first time a fake of the 1966 conference patch.
