Neat patch, first one I've seen that has the red and black threads reversed. Thanks for sharing.

Suggest that you check with Hank Green, he may known something about it.

Wow, I have most of the patches that are in the book other than the special employee badges, but that one is new to me. Too bad they didn't keep that design as it is a real winner in my opinion. I have Hank's book and there is nothing in there even close to that. Thanks for sharing! Bill

Rick,
Nice snag!
That's a beautiful patch, the colors are perfect. Never saw one like it before.
Thanks for sharing

Most Ruger patches that I have seen show the TM in a small small circle on them. I don't see one on that particular patch.

Good eye!
Gives weight to the "sample patch" speculation, likely not adopted by Ruger and produced.
Super cool either way!

Here is a factory 200th year patch and a factory Craftsmanship patch. I don't see a TM on these.
