apollo 8

This Apollo 8 patch is part of a set of modern reproduction Apollo patches produced by Cape Kennedy Medals.  It is distinct in the use of non-serifed fonts in the crew member names.

The Swissartex version is virtually identical to the A-B Emblem version.

Modern reproduction of original concept artwork for Apollo 8 by Al Stevens

Apollo 8 3" patch. This patch is unique in the stitching of the moon with an odd secondary crescent. Additionally, the names aren't as spread out along the flight path as other 3" Apollo 8 patches where the "B" in Borman and "S" in Anders are almost horizontal. Additionally, unlike most other 3" versions, this one is fully embroidered where others are twill.

This patch was collected in a set of other 3" patches, also dissimilar from "original" A-B Emblem issues. 

I am going to tag this collection with the "apollounk2" tag. Leading candidate is Cape Kennedy Medals based on the Apollo 17 patch in this set being a CKM patch.

This patch is a member of a set of Apollo patches that, while closely resemble A-B Emblem's 3" set, have several identifiable differences that set them apart. Plain packaging that says "Swiss Embroidered Emblem" for $0.98.

Similar to the A-B version but can be identified by the two colors of shading on the right side of the earth.
