Apollo 11

There are excellent photos that show the Apollo 11 crew in the mobile quarantine facility after the flight with an embroidered mission patch attached to their blue flight suits.

The patches are identifiable from these photos (e.g. in KSC-69PC-429 shown to the right) as being the so-called Biological Isolation Garment (or BIG) patch design.

Things get a little puzzling, however, when you look at closely at photos of the crew wearing the famous Biological Isolation Garments.

If you look at the detail on the left of the crew stepping out of the recovery helicopter onto the deck of the U.S.S. Hornet on their way to the mobile quarantine facility there is in fact no mission patch to be seen.

Where you might expect the patch to be there is just a plain dark circle.

Luckily, the story of what happened to the mysterious BIG patches is recounted by Buzz Aldrin himself in "Return to Earth" - "Just before we left the helicopter we ripped the Apollo 11 insignias off the isolation garments and handed them to the helicopter's crew. It was spontaneous and a way of saying thanks".

The dark patches on the BIGs in the photo above are actually circles of velcro, to which the mission patches were attached.

In one of the photos of the crew wearing the Biological Isolation Garments in the recovery dinghy before they boarded the helicopter it's just about possible to make out the mission patch in place on the Biological Isolation Garments of one of the crew members.

The Crew Patch

Patch id:	Apollo 11 Crew Patch

Worn by crew?	This patch design was worn by the crew on their Biological Isolation Garments at recovery time and on their post-flight blue jump suits.
Flown?	It is unclear if any examples were carried on the flight as souvenirs.

Manufacturer:	Texas Art Embroidery
Distribution:	Limited to NASA and the crew
Dimensions:	4" / 104mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Extremely rare. Maybe 4 to 5 sold per year.
Value:	Examples have sold recently for $420 to $710^[1].

Notes:	The Crew Patch is a very accurate rendition of the mission insignia, making it easy to identify. One reason this patch looks so close to the original artwork is because it was executed in no less than thirteen (possibly even fourteen) distinct colors of thread. This is compared to a maximum of eight different colors used in the vast majority of embroidered patches. A few original examples of the Crew Patch from the collection of Apollo 11 astronaut Mike Collins were available for sale at Astronaut Central but as of 2015 it appears these have now all been sold. Note that I produced a high quality replica of the Apollo 11 Crew Patch in 2013 which is detailed below.

Other Embroidered Mission Patches


Patch id:	AB Emblem patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	AB Emblem
Distribution:	Sold as souvenirs.
Dimensions:	4" / 103mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed edge with 'tail'.
Scarcity:	Uncommon in bare cloth back form.
Value:	Bare cloth back examples sell for maybe $10-20.

Notes:	The back of the AB patch in predominantly black.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Lion Brothers
Distribution:	Was available commercially.
Dimensions:	4" / 102mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Scarce.
Value:	Examples sell for around $30-40.

Notes:	The Lion Brothers patch has a different font and details (e.g. the landmasses on the Earth) from the crew version. In addition, the background is dark blue rather than the black of the crew patch. Note that a rare plastic backed prototype version exists. In addition a version with a black twill background in place of the usual dark blue has also been seen^[15]. This may have been a prototype or simply a production error.


Patch id:	AB Emblem early 'Green Moon' patch [AS11ABE]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	LAB Emblem
Distribution:	Unknown.
Dimensions:	4" / 103mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black velvet or black twill. Merrowed edge with 'tail'.
Scarcity:	Uncommon.
Value:	Examples currently sell for around $20 to $40^[3].

Notes:	This vintage bare cloth backed patch with a distinctively greenish lunar surface is apparently the first design to have been produced by AB Emblem. It is commonly seen in small embroidered commemorative presentations produced for the Needle Painters Guild. The version shown here has a velvety background but it also exists with a twill cloth background [AS11ABE2]. UPDATE: A couple of examples have surfaced recently which have a plastic coating on the reverse. We can only speculate as the explanation for these, but perhaps they are from a run made to the same pattern some years later.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers 'orange border' variant patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Lion Brothers
Distribution:	Was available commercially.
Dimensions:	4" / 103mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Uncommon.
Value:	Examples generally sell for around $75-218^[7]

Notes:	This uncommon variant of the Lion Brothers patch has orange thread instead of yellow in the border and the beak and feet of the eagle. In addition, the blue detailing on the lunar surface and the eagle's tail present in the regular Lion Brothers version is replaced by mid grey thread. What seems to be an experimental prototype of this patch is a variant which is identical to the regular LB patch (with yellow beak, eye and feet, and pale blue detailing on the lunar surface) but with an orange border, thereby adding one thread color to the design without removing another color first. A further variation on this version adds a neatly embroidered fill background instead of the exposed twill usually present. Again this was likely just an experimental prototype.


Patch id:	Voyager Emblems patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Voyager Emblems
Distribution:	Produced privately in 1969.
Dimensions:	4" / 104mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Rare (510 produced).
Value:	Examples were recently offered at $28.50^[4].

Notes:	The Voyage Emblems patch is easily recognized by its very fine detail. It was apparently a privately ordered run of 510 patches, produced in November 1969. Until recently examples of this patch was very hard to find, but 100 examples were listed for sale in mid 2011 at $28.50 each, of which 68 were sold in a month. A further 50 examples were then listed at $42.50, of which 5 examples sold. Presumably this was unsold stock from the original order. A later individual sale from the same person fetched $21 in open auction.


Patch id:	Dallas Cap & Emblem 'Grumman' patch [previously AS11UNK1]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Dallas Cap & Emblem
Distribution:	Apparently produced as a memento for Grumman employees.
Dimensions:	4" / 101mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed edge with 'tail'.
Scarcity:	Scarce.
Value:	Examples have sold recently for between $15 and $99^[5]

Notes:	This patch is very similar to the AB Emblem Apollo 11 patch but was apparently produced by Dallas Cap & Emblem. The landmasses on the Earth are a dark olive colour and the back of the patch is predominantly white. It is sometimes referred to as the 'Grumman' Apollo 11 patch as it appears frequently in the collections of former Grumman employees.


Patch id:	Universal Commemorative patch [AS11UC1]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	Yes (see below)

Manufacturer:	Universal Commemorative of Los Angeles, CA
Distribution:	Unknown.
Dimensions:	4" / 102mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed edge with 'tail'.
Scarcity:	Scarce.
Value:	Examples have sold recently for between $16 and $78^[6]

Notes:	This vintage patch from Universal Commemorative has fairly crude artwork compared with some of the other versions but is noteworthy in that at least one example appears to have been flown as a memento on the Apollo 11 mission (in the Lunar Module even) by NASA, and was then used in a presentation given to Christopher Craft. This would in fact make it the only embroidered patch known to have been flown on the mission as even the Texas Art Embroidery crew patches were only used post-flight. Note that at least two other variants of this patch seem to have been produced and are detailed below.


Patch id:	Space Spin-Off Ltd. patch (was [AS11UNK5])

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Space Spin-Off Ltd.
Distribution:	UK mail-in offer
Dimensions:	Approx. 3¾" / 95mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue cloth. Stitched border, cut edge.
Scarcity:	Unknown.
Value:	An example sold recently for $127 ^[14]

Notes:	This patch was offered to readers of Look-in magazine and Countdown magazine in the UK in January 1972, and was part of a set manufactured by Space Spin-Off Ltd. The crude design appears to be based on the AB Emblem 3" patch, but executed on thin blue cloth (not twill) with a cut edge.


Patch id:	Universal Commemorative patch variant [AS11UC2]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Universal Commemorative of Los Angeles, CA
Distribution:	Unknown.
Dimensions:	4" / 102mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed edge with 'tail'.
Scarcity:	Scarce.
Value:	Unknown.

Notes:	This appears to be a variant of the regular Universal Commemorative patch, with brighter yellow thread and slightly different details in the craters.


Patch id:	Universal Commemorative patch variant [AS11UC3]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Universal Commemorative of Los Angeles, CA
Distribution:	Unknown.
Dimensions:	4" / 101mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed edge with 'tail'.
Scarcity:	Scarce.
Value:	An example sold in 2018 for $104.^[6]

Notes:	This appears to be another variant of the regular Universal Commemorative patch, with a distinctive dark blue border and similar details in the craters to the other UC variant.


Patch id:	[AS11UNK6]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown.
Distribution:	Unknown.
Dimensions:	Approx. 4" / 102mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue cloth.
Scarcity:	Unknown.
Value:	Unknown.

Notes:	This design looks to be a crude copy of the old 'green moon' AB Emblem patch.


Patch id:	[AS11UNK9]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	4" / 102mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge.
Scarcity:	Scarce
Value:	Unknown

Notes:	This is an interesting recent discovery which at first glance looks to be the AS11UNK1 'Grumman' patch. In fact although the design is apparently the same this patch is partially embroidered on blue twill whilst the AS11UNK1 is fully-embroidered. I believe that the distinctive black anchor threads at the bottom of the reverse of the patch prove that it was made by the same manufacturer. It is possible that this was a pre-production sample and that for the full production run the fully-embroidered option [AS11UNK1] was chosen. This patch was first identified alongside examples of AS9UNK2, AS10UNK2 and AS12UNK8, implying they also share a common manufacturer.


Patch id:	[AS11UNK10]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	4⅛" / 105mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed edge without tail (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Scarce
Value:	Unknown^[10]

Notes:	Although the design is similar to the AB Emblem patch this patch has a distinctive color scheme with very dull metallic gold thread used for the outer border and "APOLLO 11" text. It also has a very wide inner blue border and a white backing reminiscent of the 'Grumman' patch. Given how close the artwork is to the AB Emblem patch (particularly the eagle and the crater details) it seems likely that the patch design was copied from the AB Emblem patch rather than being based on the mission insignia artwork. It's actually possible this patch is a later production rather than one from the Apollo era as the back appears to have a thing coating of some kind but it's still worth noting here as it is not typically modern in appearance.


Patch id:	[AS11UNK11]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	4" / 104mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on dark blue velvet. Merrowed edge without tail (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Scarce
Value:	Unknown

Notes:	This apparently vintage patch is easily recognised by the exposed velvet backing cloth and the use of silver thread on the lunar surface and at the base of the eagle's tail.


Patch id:	[AS11UNK12]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	4⅛" / 104mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed edge.
Scarcity:	Scarce
Value:	The only example I've seen sold to date fetched $510^[11]

Notes:	Only identified in 2015, this vintage patch looks similar to both the AB Emblem version and the Dallas Cap & Emblem ('Grumman') version. However, the distinctive brown fill thread on the Earth immediately identifies this as a different design. Other notable features that differentiate this patch from the AB Emblem and 'Grumman' versions include black zigzag stitching on the face of the eagle, prominent serifs on the "11" of Apollo 11, and extensive black detailing in the tail feathers and legs.


Patch id:	Crew Patches replica

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	AB Emblem
Distribution:	Available exclusively from my Crew Patches store.
Dimensions:	Approx. 4" / 99mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed edge with tail.
Scarcity:	Limited run of ~400 examples.
Value:	Sold at $15

Notes:	This high quality replica of the rare Apollo 11 crew patch was produced exclusively for me by AB Emblem in mid 2013 with a further run in early 2018. The patches have a plastic backing in order to avoid them being mistaken for vintage originals but are otherwise designed to look as close as possible to the original patches, even using 13 distinct colors of thread as opposed to the usual maximum of 8.

Embroidered Apollo 11 Lion Brothers Specialty patches

Apart from the standard 4" mission patch (and its variants) produced by Lion Brothers, the company also produced a number of smaller versions of their design, both in 3½" and 3" sizes. These are generally known as the Lion Brothers Apollo 11 specialty patches.

They are anchored by a 3½" patch that follows the standard mission patch design, but all the other versions have additional text and symbols, as illustrated in the group photo on the right.

This black and white photo of unknown origin on the Retro Space Images Apollo 11 disc shows two 3½" variants at top center (Masonic symbol) and lower center ("1st Lunar Landing") that have proved to be very elusive, along with various more common 3" specialty patches.

According to a card on which an example of the Bird Watcher patch was mounted, the Bird Watcher patches were sold by Vega Space Commemoratives (a Florida company created in July 1969 and dissolved in 1972) "only to viewers at Kennedy Space Center Area Launch Viewing Sites and are not available for sale anywhere else." We don't know whether Vega Space Commemoratives had Lion Brothers produce all the variants for them exclusively.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers 3½" patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Lion Brothers
Distribution:	Unknown.
Dimensions:	3½" / 90mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Rare.
Value:	Examples tend to sell for $15 to $30.

Notes:	This 3½" patch was produced by Lion Brothers to accompany the various mission specialty patches.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers 3½" Masonic symbol patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Lion Brothers
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	3½" / 90mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Very rare.
Value:	Examples were sold in 2024 for $25 and $88 to $202.^[9]

Notes:	For a long time this Masonic symbol Lion Brothers 3½" patch was only known from the group photo shown above, so it was not even clear if it had gone into production or maybe just been a pre-production sample. Eventually a single example sealed in cellophane did surface, which didn't go much further towards proving that it had been produced in any numbers. Finally, in August of 2024, over 50 of these patches were sold on eBay, all in their original cellophane wrappers, proving at least that they had been produced in significant numbers.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers 3½" First Lunar Landing patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Lion Brothers
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	3½" / 90mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Very rare.
Value:	Unknown.

Notes:	This 3½" 1st Lunar Landing patch from Lion Brothers remains elusive, with the only evidence of its existence being the group photograph shown above.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers 3" Bird Watcher patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Lion Brothers
Distribution:	Commercially available.
Dimensions:	3" / 78mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Scarce to rare.
Value:	Examples tend to sell for $5 to $20.

Notes:	The Lion Brothers Apollo 11 3" Bird Watcher specialty patch is the most common of the smaller specialty patches.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers 3" Mission Support patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Lion Brothers
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	3" / 78mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Scarce to rare.
Value:	Examples tend to sell for $15 to $30.

Notes:	The Lion Brothers Apollo 11 3" Mission Support specialty patch is less common than the Bird Watcher or Launch Team variants.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers 3" Recovery Fleet patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Lion Brothers
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	3" / 78mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Uncommon.
Value:	Examples tend to sell for $15 to $30.

Notes:	The Lion Brothers Apollo 11 3" Recovery Fleet specialty patch is less common than the Bird Watcher or Launch Team variants.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers 3" Launch Team patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Lion Brothers
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	3" / 78mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Scarce to rare.
Value:	Examples tend to sell for $15 to $30.

Notes:	The Lion Brothers Apollo 11 3" Launch Team specialty patch is slightly less common than the Bird Watcher variant. Interestingly, the specialty patch group photo above also includes a variant of the Launch Team patch with the text in markedly darker thread than the normal version. This is presumably colored, but we only have a black and white photo as a reference. I've not seen an example of this variant to-date.

Embroidered Apollo 11 Commemorative Patches


Patch id:	First Lunar Landing of Mankind [AS11FLL]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	AB Emblem
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	4⅛" / 104mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black twill. Merrowed border with tail.
Scarcity:	Scarce.
Value:	Examples have sold for $9 to $27^[12]

Notes:	At least 4 different vintage patches with this same basic commemorative design exist, of which this particular variant produced by AB Emblem may be the oldest, with examples being sold as mementos at the time of the Apollo 11 launch. Given the uncertainty over the success of the mission the design excludes the mission name and month and so could have been used for Apollo 12 if that turned out to be the first successfull landing. Although the overall design is very similar to AS11FLL1 and AS11FLL3, this version includes a couple of extra details - notably extra black lines of thread in the white round areas to the left and right of the LEM ascent stage - that are missing from the later variants.


Patch id:	First Lunar Landing of Mankind [AS11FLL1]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Likely AB Emblem
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	4⅛" / 105mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black twill. Merrowed border with tail.
Scarcity:	Uncommon.
Value:	Bare cloth back examples tend to sell in the $5 to $10 range.

Notes:	This version of the "First Lunar Landing of Mankind" design also lacks any mention of the month of the landing but adds red text under the year which reads "© 1969" followed by two initials that are apparently "NP" representing the Needle Painters Guild.


Patch id:	First Lunar Landing of Mankind [AS11FLL3]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Likely AB Emblem
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	4⅛" / 105mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black twill. Merrowed border with tail. Plastic backing.
Scarcity:	Unknown
Value:	Unknown

Notes:	Later versions of this commemorative patch with plastic backings include the full date of the landing.


Patch id:	First Lunar Landing of Mankind [AS11FLL2]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	4⅛" / 105mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black twill. Merrowed border with no tail (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Scarce
Value:	Unknown

Notes:	This version of the "First Lunar Landing of Mankind" design includes the month "JULY" on the left but not the full date. It is not clear when this particular patch was produced but the execution is quite different from the other versions. It uses a darker green thread for the lunar surface and the selvedged border implies it was not produced by AB Emblem.


Patch id:	[AS11LEM5]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	Approx 4" / 104mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on white twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Unknown
Value:	Unknown

Notes:	This 4" patch appears to be from the same manufacturer as the "LM5" version on the right but uses the older "LEM 5" designation instead of "LM 5". The patch was produced as a commemorative souvenir and sold at the time of the launch. Later runs switched to the "LM 5" naming convention.


Patch id:	[AS11LM5]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	Approx 4" / 104mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on white twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Unknown
Value:	Unknown

Notes:	Although I was originally unsure if this was actually a vintage patch it appears that it does indeed date from around the time of the mission, although it was likely produced after the "LEM 5" version shown on the left.


Patch id:	Apollo 11 On The Moon [AS11OTM]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	4" / 99mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Rare
Value:	An example sold in 2021 for $308^[16]

Notes:	I've only seen three examples to-date of this Apollo 11 commemorative patch. The artwork is somewhat crude and the color scheme unusual but it's none-the-less an interesting (and possibly vintage) bare cloth back patch.


Patch id:	Apollo XI commemorative [AS11AXI]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	4" / 100mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge with 'tail'.
Scarcity:	Uncommon
Value:	An example sold in 2022 for $35^[17]

Notes:	This Apollo 11 commemorative patch from an unknown manufacturer features an astronaut in what has been aptly described as a "Cat in the Hat" pose. Not a great success from an artistic point of view but it is a bare cloth back vintage commemorative patch.


Patch id:	Apollo 11 'bootprints' [AS11UNK8]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	3" x 4¾" / 75 x 120mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge.
Scarcity:	Unknown
Value:	Unknown

Notes:	This patch was likely produced to commemorate the Apollo 11 moon landing.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers Commemorative [was AS11UNK7]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Lion Brothers
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	4" / 104mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Very rare
Value:	Examples have sold in recent years for between $150 and $582^[13]

Notes:	This rare commemorative patch has been confirmed as a Lion Brothers original design, produced at the time of the Apollo 11 mission. Very few examples have been seen, so the production run was likely very small. A few were accompanied by presentation cards which imply they were presented by Lion Brothers as gifts.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers Commemorative Randy Hunt replica

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Randy Hunt
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	Approx 4" / 104mm
Type:	Unknown
Scarcity:	Unknown
Value:	Unknown

Notes:	This patch, sold in the Dec 1, 2007 Aurora auction which included many Randy Hunt replicas, is likely a Randy Hunt replica of the Lion Brothers Commemorative patch shown on the left. The auction listing image is very poor but it seems possible to make out some distinct differences in the design such as the size of the hatch, the colors on the Earth, and the shape of the darker blobs of detail on the lunar surface.

3" Embroidered Mission Patches


Patch id:	AB Emblem 3" souvenir patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	AB Emblem
Distribution:	Sold as souvenirs
Dimensions:	3" / 75mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black twill. Merrowed edge with tail.
Scarcity:	Common
Value:	Minimal value

Notes:	This is the AB Emblem small souvenir (3") version of the mission patch.


Patch id:	Dallas Cap & Emblem 3" souvenir patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Dallas Cap & Emblem
Distribution:	Sold as souvenir
Dimensions:	3" / 77mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed edge with tail.
Scarcity:	Uncommon
Value:	Unknown

Notes:	This small souvenir patch from Dallas Cap & Emblem is similar in design to the AB version (likely copied from it) but has a fully-embroidered background.


Patch id:	Flint Model Supply colored 3" souvenir patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Flint Model Supply
Distribution:	Mail order
Dimensions:	3⅛" / 79mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black twill. Merrowed edge with tail.
Scarcity:	Unknown
Value:	Minimal

Notes:	This "8 color" version of the Flint Model Supply 3" Apollo 11 patch was actually produced by applying permanent markers by hand to the white threads of the regular version on the Earth (blue), date (red & blue) and olive leaves (green).


Patch id:	Flint Model Supply 3" souvenir patch [formerly AS11UNK3i3]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Flint Model Supply
Distribution:	Mail order
Dimensions:	3⅛" / 79mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black twill. Merrowed edge with tail.
Scarcity:	Unknown
Value:	Minimal

Notes:	This small souvenir version of the mission patch produced by Flint Model Supply is noteworthy for including the date and time of the landing. Note that it is more usually seen in the "8 color" version detailed on the left.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers / "Put-Ons" 3" souvenir patch [AS11UNK3i4]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Lion Brothers
Distribution:	Sold as "Put-Ons" Official Emblems
Dimensions:	2¾" / 70mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black twill. Merrowed edge without tail (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Unknown
Value:	Unknown

Notes:	This small souvenir version of the mission patch is noteworthy for its use of gold thread and for its selvedged border, marking it out as a more expensive product than most 3" versions. In fact it has recently been discovered that this patch was manufactured by Lion Brothers and marketed as "Put-Ons" Official Emblems.


Patch id:	Cape Kennedy Medals 3" patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Cape Kennedy Medals.
Distribution:	Unknown.
Dimensions:	Approx 3⅛" (80mm)
Type:	Fully embroidered. Cut edge, stitched border
Scarcity:	Scarce.
Value:	Unknown.

Notes:	Previously noted as [AS11UNK3i5] this is the Cape Kennedy Medals 3" patch. The design is very close to that of the 3" Lion Brothers speciality patches but the execution, with fully embroidered background and cut edge, is quite different. Note that the version shown here is embroidered on white twill, as visible around the extreme edges, but it is sometimes seen on blue twill.


Patch id:	3" souvenir patch [AS11UNK3i2]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	3⅛" / 79mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black twill. Merrowed edge with tail.
