Lodge 270: White Border Fake
Posted in
Skyuka 270 ZS2?
Larry Banks sent me an image a few weeks ago of what we believe is a fake, or unauthorized issue of some sort from Skyuka lodge.
No issue known issue from this lodge uses this color scheme — white cut edge border with a white background. However, the S2 has a gray border with pale blue background. The creator of this patch may have patterned his work after the S2 image on this site. It is rather dark and someone not familiar with the descriptions might assume the patch had a white border and background. This leads me to the disturbing conclusion that the creator of this fake may have based his work upon an imperfect understanding of my site.
Clearly this item is of inferior construction. It may even be “hand made” using a sewing embroidery machine.
The listing data for this patch are as follows:
| Issue | Bdr Color/Type | Bkgd | Name | fdl/BSA | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZS2? | WHT | C | WHT | RED | - | BLK inner border; poor quality fake of S2 |
