This
17 Year Old Patch
is part of a collectible series of patches issued and sold by The Susquehanna River Waterfowlers Association (SRWA).
The SRWA Organization is an incorporated organization based in The State Of Pennsylvania with its place of business being in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.
The organization came into existence in the very early 1980’s.
It did so as a very small handful of sportsmen got together to form the group, with the vision they as a formed group might have a voice in the hunting seasons and regulations for waterfowl hunting in Pennsylvania.
Over the years as the organization grew, so did its goals and objectives.
As the organization began working with and partnering with the Pennsylvania Game Commission it began to gain recognition within the state and did begin having an influence and impact not only on the seasons, bag limits and regulations, but also on the habitat and preservation and development of it.
Membership in The Susquehanna River Waterfowlers Association is on an individual basis.
As a member of the SRWA, its members are provided with a subscription to the “Wingbeat”, the SWRA’s Newsletter covering ongoing yearly activities.
The information contained in the “Wingbeat” includes such things as topics of concern about waterfowl and the art of hunting it, technical information on waterfowl and their habitat and classified ads placed by other members of the SRWA.
Activities conducted by the organization include: assisting the Pennsylvania Game Commission with waterfowl banding work, seasonal waterfowl count and survey work, waterfowl observation work and Spring and Fall Outings for interested Waterfowlers.
As part of their goals, this organization promotes itself by setting up and manning booths at such public events as the Eastern Outdoor and Sports Show and other sporting shows across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Sales of SWRA patches is one source of funding used by this organization to raise funds to help support their activities.
Each year a patch is released showing a different species of waterfowl.
To the best of my knowledge patch sales were started by this group in the year 1998 with the first patch being the Wood Duck Patch.
This beautiful patch featured a Male Wood Duck and is now “Sold Out” from the organization and only available second market from a collector or dealer such as myself.
All of the organizations patches were created in limited quantities and some of them are sold out from the Susquehanna River Waterfowlers Association.
We will make mention of this in my ad and would advise each bidder to consider this when placing their bids.
Patches sold out from the creating organization usually are of greater value than those still available from the organization.
The patch we are selling in this eBay Listing is guaranteed to be an original and a not duplication as it was acquired directly from the Susquehanna River Waterfowlers Association.
This patch features a Hooded Merganser swimming in the center of the patch. A beautiful bright blue sky and some dark wave ripples have been added to the foreground and background, adding to the beauty of this patch.
Above the Canvasback in a step down banner style arrangement, in black lettering is the organization’s name,
Susquehanna River Waterfowlers.
Also in this step down banner but at the left and right of the Hooded Merganser before the wording “Susquehanna” and after the wording “River” are a pair of cute little duck heads adding to the beauty of the wording in the step down banner. These cute little duck heads are the trade mark statement for the organization and are shown on all of their patches in exactly the same place as shown in this patch.
Directly above the Canvasback’s head in red lettering is the year this patch was issued, “
2004
”.
Surrounding all of this is a well-sewn black outer edge border.
The patch measures 3 ¾” in diameter
and contains 7 very vivid colors and 2 different size / styles of lettering.
If you are a collector of patches, you know that the more colors in a patch, the more valuable the patch is.
This patch is no exception to this rule.
The patch we are selling in this eBay Listing and the patch you will receive are new / unused and have not been sewn on any garment, material or item.
The patch you will receive will be in excellent condition and the same as the one seen in the photographs. We do use stock photographs in our light ads which means the patch you will receive may or may not vary slightly in color or patch detail.
The patch you receive will be an original, new patch but some patches in the production run do vary slightly from patch to patch.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact us before purchasing the item and we will be glad to share with you the photos of the actual patch you will receive.
If you are a collector of Pennsylvania Game Commission Patches, Ned Smith Patches, Wild Resource Conservation Fund Patches, Ducks Unlimited Patches, Waterfowl Patches, Hunting Related Patches or Wildlife Related Patches, this is sure to be a wonderful addition to your collection as it is truly a beautiful patch and not that often seen on Internet Auction Sites.
