Apollo 1 - 3 1/2" - Unknown maker

Submitted by liem on Sun, 03/03/2013 - 10:45

Identified in a complete set of Apollo project patches that containe a mix of A-B, "Grumman" and other patches. The stitching of the yellow inner ring is quite distinct with edge stitching on the sections between each name.

3 1/2" in diameter with a vacuum sealed back which indicates a modern origin.

Thank you, Sam, for the information.

This version looks to me like the later Eagle Crest Emblem Inc. manufactured patch, (with a plastic coated backing). I have this patch with an identical front but a different vacuum sealed backing which was manufactured by Swissartex Emblem Inc.
