STS-41D
The STS-41D crew wore the standard AB Emblem embroidered mission emblems on their flight suits and on their in-flight clothing, thus there is no rare 'crew patch' for this mission.
Embroidered Mission Patches
A-B Emblem patch
The AB Emblem patch was the version used by the crew. Note that some later versions of the AB Emblem patch added a merrowed border to the patch although the design remained otherwise identical.
Lion Brothers patch
The Lion Brothers STS-41D mission patch only exists with a vacuum-sealed plastic backing. The design features a much larger ship than any other version.
Swissartex patch
The vintage version of the Swissartex STS-41D mission patch exists both with a waxy plastic backing and with a vacuum sealed
clear plastic coating on the reverse. The fronts of the two versions are virtually identical.
The patch uses a much lighter blue thread for the background fill than the designs of the other manufacturers.
Cape Kennedy Medals patch
The Cape Kennedy Medals patch has very crudely stitched artwork.
