Default 27 CTR Canvas Flash Variations

Hello All. I am seeking opinions and/or information on the following two Canvas 27 CTR Flashes. The one with the RED background (which was recently sold by MARWAY on eBay, Photo by Jamie... thank you), and the second variation (on the WHITE background) which I saw at a Montreal show a few years ago and took a quick picture of with my phone (hence the poor, blurry, image). The latter patch I have seen twice in my travels, whereas, the first one I have seen about half-a-dozen times now. Can anyone share their comments and opinions regarding these two variations (when were they made?, where were they made?, has anyone seen samples f this second variation? etc). Thank you, in advance, for any information you can share.
Duncan

Default 27CTR patches....

Duncan:
First photo- quite correct and original- a scarce patch!
Second blurry patch, IMHO, is a bogus item. I would stay away from this one!
Bill A might have further comments on this one.
Cheers,
John S.

Hi Duncan, John is correct. The second one is a reproduction. Note the "bleeding" around the numbers and letters. Colours are off, the fabric is not the correct type for printed badges and there are not any cut guidelines.
