Apollo 13

When they stepped out of the recovery helicopter onto the deck of the U.S.S. Iwo Jima the crew were wearing blue jumpsuits with an embroidered mission patch attached.

The patches can be seen quite distinctly in these photos.

Close-up images of patches worn by the crew

The images on the right (detail from color photos of the crew on board the Iwo Jima from the LIFE magazine archives) clearly show the embroidered patch.

The same design is visible on the jump suits of the crew in all photos taken on the Iwo Jima and again in photos of the crew receiving medals from President Nixon on their arrival in Hawaii.

This patch is the one recognized today as the Apollo 13 Crew Patch.

It seems that this patch was manufactured by AB Emblem, since examples have been seen in original KSC packaging and also seen in some sets of vintage AB patches. Since the more common AB design exists in bare back form this implies that AB changed their design sometime before the switch to coated backs in the late 70s. In fact, given the relative scarcity of this design I would assume that the change was made not long after the flight itself. Why AB Emblem should have changed the design of their Apollo 13 patch and no other is a mystery.

In any case, despite the fact that the patch as apprently available commercially to at least some extent it is still scarce enough to qualify as a Crew Patch.

The Crew Patch

Patch id:	The Crew Patch

Worn by crew?	Yes. This was the design worn by the crew on their post-flight jump suits.
Flown?	Yes. Examples of this patch were carried on the flight as souvenirs^[1].

Manufacturer:	AB Emblem
Distribution:	Supplied to NASA but apparently also available commerically for a limited time.
Dimensions:	4" / 101mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed border with 'tail'.
Scarcity:	Scarce. Perhaps 12 examples per year.
Value:	Examples have sold in recent years for anywhere from $49 to $390^[2].

Notes:	This patch looks rather similar to the Lion Brothers version but has a distinct curving fill pattern on the sun, and craters on the lunar surface that are horseshoe shaped rather than round. Note that a high quality modern replica of this patch was produced in 2013 by Skyforce Space Patches and 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" / 101mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black velvet or twill. Merrowed edge with 'tail'.
Scarcity:	Uncommon in bare back form.
Value:	Bare cloth back examples sell for maybe $5-22.

Notes:	The standard AB Emblem patch is very different to the design worn by the crew, with multi-colored horses and no craters on the lunar surface. It exists in two main variants, one embroidered on a black velvety background (as shown above) and the other on black twill. The velvet version appears to be slightly more common than the twill version, at a ratio of roughly 2 to 1. Occasionally runs of this patch were produced where the colors of thread used to execute the horses are distinctly different to that shown above. A couple of these variants are detailed below.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	Yes. Examples were apparently carried on the flight as mementos ^[3].

Manufacturer:	Lion Brothers
Distribution:	Was available commercially.
Dimensions:	4" / 101mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Scarce.
Value:	Examples sell for around $15-30.

Notes:	The Lion Brothers Apollo 13 patch is similar to the crew version but the colors are subtly different. The sun's rays are also longer to the upper right. It also has the number "13" embroidered in pale thread in the mane of the horse on the left as a hallmark. Note that a rare plastic backed prototype version of this patch exists. Note that a number of pre-production samples with variations in thread colors are identified separately below.


Patch id:	AB Emblem 'Dark Horse' variant patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	Yes. Examples were apparently carried on the flight as mementos ^[4].

Manufacturer:	AB Emblem
Distribution:	Unknown.
Dimensions:	4" / 101mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black velvet. Merrowed edge with 'tail'.
Scarcity:	Scarce.
Value:	An example sold recently for $88^[4]

Notes:	A set of patches flown by Jack Swigert on Apollo 13 that came to auction in 2014 included 5 examples of the AB Emblem patch all of which are a distinct color variant which I refer to as the 'dark horse' variant. This variant of the velvet background AB Emblem patch is defined by two color changes. The right-hand horse is executed in a much darker shade of brown than in the other variants, and the thread color used for the body of the central horse, the mane of the right-hand horse, shading in the mane of the left-hand horse, and on the contintents of the Earth is the orange-brown color usually used for the right-hand horse. As a recent 'discovery' it's difficult to be sure how uncommon this variant actually is, but a random sample of 11 vintage AB Emblem Apollo 13 patches did not include any examples.


Patch id:	Lion Brothers pre-production variant patches

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Lion Brothers
Distribution:	Pre-production samples only
Dimensions:	4" / 101mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Very rare
Value:	Unknown.

Notes:	At least five distinct color variants of the Apollo 13 Lion Brothers design were identified in a collection of pre-productions samples from the collection of a Lion Brothers sales rep acquired by USAFSPACE.com in 2021. Exhibiting different color combinations for the border, sun fill, and horses' manes in particular, these were apparently produced to allow NASA to choose which version they liked the best, with the silver border option we're familiar with today apparently winning out.


Patch id:	[AS13UNK1]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	4" / 101mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
Scarcity:	Rare.
Value:	Examples sold recently for $79 to $305^[5]

Notes:	This vintage Apollo 13 patch from an unknown manufacturer is similar to the crew version but lacks the black craters. The sun's rays are very similar to those of the Lion Brothers version.


Patch id:	AB Emblem color variant 2 patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	AB Emblem
Distribution:	Unknown.
Dimensions:	4" / 101mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black twill. Merrowed edge with 'tail'.
Scarcity:	Scarce.
Value:	Unknown^[12]

Notes:	This thread color variant of the AB Emblem patch which is seen from time-to-time has the middle horse executed in a mid-brown thread identical to (or almost identical to) that of the lead horse. Although apparently uncommon, this variant has no association with having been flown.


Patch id:	[AS13UNK2]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	3¾" / 95mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Stitched border with trimmed edge.
Scarcity:	Rare.
Value:	An example sold for $46.99^[6]

Notes:	A rather crude bare backed patch of unknown origin. The only example seen to-date had been sewn to clothing and distorted by washing. It seems likely that this is actually a modern 'tiger embroidery' patch from the Phillipines, produced by hand on a machine by someone following a pattern. Each patch produced this way is different, as shown by the UNK4/6/7 examples below.


Patch id:	AB Emblem color variant 3 patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	AB Emblem
Distribution:	Unknown.
Dimensions:	4" / 101mm
Type:	Unknown.
Scarcity:	Scarce.
Value:	Unknown^[13]

Notes:	In this thread color variant of the AB Emblem patch the leading horse is executed in the dark brown 'dark horse' color but the center horse is executed in the regular pale color thread.


Patch id:	[AS13UNK3]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	3 7/8" / 98mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Merrowed edge with 'tail'.
Scarcity:	Very rare.
Value:	Examples have sold for between $76 and $230^[7]

Notes:	This vintage Apollo 13 patch from an unknown manufacturer has a striking blue background. A 3" version of the patch also exists.


Patch id:	[AS13UNK4]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown
Distribution:	Unknown
Dimensions:	3⅞" / 99mm
Type:	Fully embroidered. Stitched border with cut edge.
Scarcity:	Rare.
Value:	Examples have sold for $143.75 to $150^[8]

Notes:	As with AS13UNK2 above, this is likely a modern 'tiger embroidery' patch produced in the Phillipines by someone using a sewing machine to trace a pattern.


Patch id:	[AS13UNK5]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown.
Distribution:	Unknown.
Dimensions:	4" / 100mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black twill. Merrowed edge with trimmed 'tail'?
Scarcity:	Rare
Value:	An example sold for $200^[9]

Notes:	This patch from an unknown manufacturer is apparently vintage. It features a distinctive 'joined-up' pattern of craters on the lunar surface.


Patch id:	[AS13UNK6]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown.
Distribution:	Unknown.
Dimensions:	Approx 3⅞" / 99mm
Type:	Fully embroidered.
Scarcity:	Rare
Value:	Unknown.

Notes:	As with AS13UNK2 and AS13UNK4 above, this is likely a modern 'tiger embroidery' patch produced in the Phillipines by someone using a sewing machine to trace a pattern.


Patch id:	[AS13UNK7]

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Unknown.
Distribution:	Unknown.
Dimensions:	Approx 3⅞" / 99mm
Type:	Fully embroidered.
Scarcity:	Rare
Value:	Unknown.^[10]

Notes:	As with AS13UNK2, AS13UNK4, and ASK13UNK6 above, this is likely a modern 'tiger embroidery' patch produced in the Phillipines by someone using a sewing machine to trace a pattern. Each patch produced this way will be distinctly different from the others, with the lettering in particular being very irregular.


Patch id:	Space Spin-Off Ltd. patch

Worn by crew?	No.
Flown?	No.

Manufacturer:	Space Spin-Off Ltd.
Distribution:	UK mail-in offer
Dimensions:	3¾" / 95mm
Type:	Partially embroidered on black cloth. Stitched border, cut edge.

Value:	An example sold recently for $87^[11]

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