This distinctive version of the STS-4 patch has a blue border/twill and a lighter triangle in the shuttle path. The "i" in columbia almost looks like an "l". 

This patch is distinctive from the regular A-B Emblem STS-4 souvenir version as it was laid down on red twill rather than white. 

STS-41-D was the 12th flight of NASA's Space Shuttle program, and the first mission of the orbiter Discovery. It was launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on 30 August 1984, and landed on 5 September. Three commercial communications satellites were deployed into orbit during the six-day mission, and a number of scientific experiments were conducted.
The mission was delayed by more than two months from its original planned launch date, having experienced the Space Shuttle program's first launch abort at T-6 seconds on 26 June 1984.

The Lion Brothers version of the STS-41D patch has the largest sailing ship.

STS-61-A (also known as D-1) was the 22nd mission of NASA's Space Shuttle program. It was a scientific Spacelab mission, funded and directed by West Germany – hence the non-NASA designation of D-1 (for Deutschland-1). STS-61-A was the last successful mission of the Space Shuttle Challenger, which was destroyed during STS-51-L in 1986. STS-61-A currently holds the record for the largest crew, eight people, aboard any single spacecraft for the entire period from launch to landing.
The mission carried the NASA/ESA Spacelab module into orbit with 76 scientific experiments on board, and was declared a success. Payload operations were controlled from the German Space Operations Center in Oberpfaffenhofen, West Germany, instead of from the regular NASA control centers.

Single piece construction with modern embroidery. Radial white border stitching with a crude "ESA" symbol.

This variation features the astronaut names displayed on a curve rather than a straight line.

Swissartex version of STS-4. The thick red order is a big give away.

Slightly larger than the A-B Emblem crew version, but bears the same light red/pink triangle. Cloth back.

The crew version of the STS-4. Identified by the lighter red/pink triangle in the zag of the trail. The stitching in the Earth has a barred apperance where the slightly larger Lion Brothers version does not.
