Boy Scout Vintage RWS - Red + White Strip PATCH

 ! Great Shape !

(Note- Council Patches are scanned sometimes while in their plastic bags so you may see glare or reflections or faded or folded areas because of the plastic.)


 COUNCIL + CITY SHOULDER STRIP PATCHES, RWS's, are mostly from an untouched 40 Year Old collection. These are a SPECIAL set as they come straight from the factory. This new collection came in from a Leader who got Lions Brothers to sponsor their Unit for a "How Patches Are Made" display at their Council Expo in the late 1970's. After giving the Unit a tour they gave them a box of City Strips to give out. These were going to be discontinued and these were the rarer more obscure cities and towns that they had one or two samples of left. Unfortunately, they told them they had just discarded 100,000 of them, the week before the tour.

A few issues from OTHER collections have been added.

Most are Mint or Unused OLDER ISSUES.

Mgd=Merged, JSP=Jamboree Shoulder Patch, DJ=the 75th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee for BSA in 1985, NJ=National Jamboree, WJ=World Jamboree, PL or PL Back=Plain Back, embroidered, no plastic, PB=Plastic Back, Annv.=Anniversary Issue, CP=Council Patch, not CSP shaped, usually round and worn on pocket-not shoulder, T=Twill background version / not fully embroidered, S=Solid background / fully embroidered, fdl=Fluer-de-lis or Scout Emblem was added


Patches are unused unless otherwise noted. Can combine items to save on shipping.

**NOTE - Issue number - if shown, perhaps a CSP Guide, Arapaho or Blue Book number, is not definite - it is just what previous owner had written on list. It would have been that issue or at least close to it 25 years ago.


*Remember-YOU ARE BIDDING ON WHAT IS PICTURED - NOT AN ISSUE. (We are not experts on these)*

ERA: 1950’s - 1970's

CONDITION*: EX - Mint,

***NOTE - photo should be final determination on condition. What one person considers GOOD another considers VERY GOOD. Some may be said to be VG (Very Good) not because they were ever used, but because they may have been in a collection or drawer and not be perfectly flat. Usually we put Good (if slightly blemished, or taped into a book, or once used, etc.) or Very Good (pretty nice - perhaps never used, or slightly used, but still look nice) or EX, EXCELLENT (Very Nice shape, appears never used) or MINT - (Mint is Mint - almost perfect or better). We are not expert of military, scouting or Red Cross items so what you may be looking for is not what we see. Please keep that in mind. We will try our hardest to help.
