I do recall that a denim cut off with one of those patches sold on Aussie eBay a few years back for silly money.

Not the complete patch but a good start to make your own.
The film is Stone, 1974 Aussie biker gang movie, very good film, just saw it very recently due to a Mad Max titled thread on here, (Mad Max being one of my favourite films), the Gravediggers being a gang of Vietnam vets ion australia riding Z900's
'diggers' being the militaristic slang for the aussie soldiers who wear the bush hats as pictured in the image.
Heres a closer image though i'm sure in the film rather than vietnam veterans the top reads Gravediggers and the bottom Sydney?

not so sure gbh if the deal went through as it was with drawn after Sandy Hubbard was going to sue as he has rights to all Grave Digger's stuff/naming. apparently back in the 70's stuff went missing after filming.

I think Sandy might have to prove it was stolen in order to prevent the sale. Also, I can't see him suing over a one off sale of a $500 jacket, engaging a solicitor for that would be throwing money away.....though I can believe that he might have threatened a law suit.

there was a hells angels pin badge being sold on ebay a couple of yrs back , they contacted the owner warned him off selling it.
think he told em where to get off, so thay threatened to buy it at whatever cost , then they would have his details etc, .

Further to Bunny's comment:
Great iconic design, however wearing an "outlaw"club patch with rockers may attract unwelcome attention, not from the polis, but from other backpatch clubs, who may then question your reasons/justification for wearing them
