There is a blood chit for sale now on eBay which I'm 99% certain I made in the 1980s:
I'm certain because of the sewing, the overly dark red and blue which came about because I used too much black to dull down the colors (something definitely NOT done in India or China during WW2) and because of the bullshit "chop" which I would put on my leather copies. This "chop" is the bluish or reddish stamp which was put on legit cloth blood chits but not on leather homemade jobs- definitely not in a different color, My ignorance made me do this
as I only had blurry photos in books of leather chits and I copied the Chinese characters from my original cloth chit. Also bullshit is the official looking number on the leather back- there's no reason for this especially not on these unnofficial leather chits.
Look at the colors of the blue and red- you can see I mixed in a bit too much black- and you can see the artificial ageing I put on the surface of the ACRYLIC paint which I used.
Look at the sewing on the bottom of the chit- it was hand sewn (and poorly at that) by lil' ol' me- I didn't know how to sew leather on to a jacket.
I'm 99% sure this came from a B-10 I hade made by a tailor in San Francisco which he made by using cloth supplied by me and copying a G-1 jacket. The Hump patch I made for the front of this jacket showed up on eBay a year or 2 ago also I believe from a seller in Asia. I think that fake B-10 I had made with its fake chit and Hump patch somehow made it's way to Asia after I gave to a friend back in my days as a drunk!
Here you can see the bullshit "chop". Also note my primitive hand stitching which I used to sew it to my B-10 creation. I didn't have the skills to machine sew the chit to my B-10 creation.
I used old leather which I painted with acrylic- you can see my messy overspillage etc.
Official looking but bullshit!
You can see how the bluish or off color "chop" (extra Chinese characters) don't really go on a leather chit- and you can see how I aged them
99.999% sure it's mine!
