TNG

Thanks folks! Just wanted to double check.

It kinda looks like a khaki color in hand that turns more brown where the red is maybe bleeding into it.

Still looks cool, I can't place that ones run, but yea all jabo imo.

I would bet several dollars these were Jabo/DAS, That blue ones a little weird, The other two look like indian summers though. Edited to add: Are these yours? does the blue one do the glowy stuff

It seems like most the green examples have that more like opaque patch though, I initially though it was maybe like an Akro "Royal", based on the coverage and description but it's so seedy in the patch and the base looked too fancy.

There are a couple that look like they might fit the helix idea, but it could also be wear/age that makes some of the bands look incomplete. Specifically the second image, bottom right corner.

It's really hard to tell if there the banded ones, or if they have the one stripe that spins around like the book examples.

Side B

It comes to points on both sides that are really similar, this is like side A. (Backlit one to try and show the transparency in the patch)

Are the patches always opaque? I was comparing it to this picture of a box of realers Steph posted forever ago and this ebay auction; I'll grab new pictures of both ends of the patch and post them separately.

Maybe it's wishful thinking, I don't have a confirmed realer to compare too in hand but it looks right to me comparing pictures. Does this look like a pelt too you all though? (.61 Inches)

What am I? (.62 inch)

I saw one of the power cycles from this show for sale the other day, but it was the yellow one 😅

That last black one is pretty cool looking yea. I have some of the Vitro ones bagged;

This looks exactly like one of my Yasudas so +1 to those.

This was really standing out to me from the unsorted pile, I tried to show a couple of pictures that show both of what I thought were the seams or cutlines. They look oddly placed, almost both on the same pole. Is this just damage/factory error or something fancy?

I think this one is neat. At first I just thought it was black and almost opaque but then the blacklight showed its weird glowy undertones. There is a couple little wisps of white brushed from one seam to the other on one side. Underlit Regular lighting its almost black; UV 🔦

A moonie I bought myself for yuletides (thanks cedarman!)

Are Vitro conquerors just a subset of the general patch archetype? What exactly is it that makes one a "Phantom" conqueror? I've read a couple places that they are not particularly sought after or that they may be too many floating around for them to really be valuable or collected like some other named styles are, But I kinda like them. It was one of the first types I researched and felt like I could easily pick out of a pile or see in a jar etc. Here are some I wanted to confirm, either because there a weird color or seem to be errors. Are all of these conquerors?

Roughly 3/4 inch (.77) Has some pitting but I think it's pattern looks neat underneath, is this old or just beat-up?

.62 inch, white base with skinny green veins.

Hello folks, happy holidays. Wanted to get some opinions on this one. .59 inch in calipers Opaque white with transparent orange swirly parts.

My Grandfather was a tail gunner in the USAF during WW2 (in the bubble/ball turret), When he returned home from the war, he married a widow with 11 children from a previous marriage and then they had 2 additional children. Tragically, All of his service pictures and documentation were destroyed in a house fire which also claimed one of his children in the early 70's so we have no pictures to share of his time with the service. Anyway, Here are a couple of Colonels from the Jabo "Last dance" tribute run I got this week, it is my understanding that many of the families from this run are dedicated or named for members of our armed service branches.

Thank you! just wanted to double check before putting it into the void
