\"Question<\/a>I recently bid on a lot on eBay<\/a> for what I thought would be a dupe. A quick look, led me to think that it was one of the Vigil flaps from Thay-En-Da-Ne-Gea Lodge #418. The price looked right, and I didn’t look too closely.<\/p>\n

When I received the item, I was quite surprised to find it did not have a gold mylar border.<\/p>\n

It looks like all of the red thread has been replaced by a cream or manila colored thread with maybe a bit of pink in it. In addition to the BSA, 418 and the WWW, the arrow is also cream colored. After comparing it to the scans on OAImages<\/a>, I do not believe that it is a mis-colored vigil flap. For it to be a mis-colored Vigil flap, a second mistake would have to have been made with the border color thread as well.<\/p>\n

\"Thay-En-Da-Ne-Gea<\/a>If you look at the border, you can see there is a red lock stitch. My suspicion is that it is an S8 error (pictured on the right). Image courtesy of The Internet Guide to OA Insignia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Has anyone else seen the oddity below before? My inclination barring further information which may change its classification, is to use the ‘Y’ category for this flap.<\/p>\n
