Eagle One Aerospace produced an exclusive set of Project Mercury crew patches in the early 90's. 5 sets were produced and mounted on a poster, another 25-50 were produced as an unmounted set. Each patch has the hallmark initials of their respective crewman. They faithfully render the capsule artwork and are often considered to be the proper mercury crew patch as opposed to the common, later souvenir patches from A-B Emblem and others. 

This is version of the MA-7 patch was produced in 2013 by Spacepatches.nl in order to correct the coloration and detail of the original Eagle One Aerospace version.

The coloration of the patch differs slightly from the capsule artwork.

This variation can be identified by the orange tip of the capsule. 

Collected as a set with other 3" Mercury and Gemini patches. This set of patches, while at first glance appear to be regular A-B Emblem 3" souvenir versions, actually have some distinct oddities that set them apart. They all have cheesecloth backs.

This patch has the symbol that was on Scott Carpenter's
MA-7 Mercury capsule.
