Vintage Original 1969 Apollo 11 Mission Lion Brothers 4" Cloth Backed Patch

For your consideration is an original mission-era patch for Apollo 11. This is not a modern reproduction; it has been carefully preserved for over 25 years in my long-running “Space Soup Patches” collection and research archive.

 

Key Features for Collectors:

• Authentic Construction: Features the highly sought-after "bare back" or "cheesecloth" backing. This indicates the original production run. Partially embroidered on blue twill. Merrowed edge without 'tail' (selvedged).
• High-Quality Embroidery: Displays the tight, dense thread-work characteristic of vintage Lion Brothers.
• This is the 4 inch version, produced by Lion Brothers.
• Mint Condition: An authentic era original patch as issued by Lion Brothers in 1969.
  

Shipping:

Packaged with care to ensure it arrives in the same mint condition seen in the photos. I combine shipping.
