Rare Apollo 12 Embroidered Crew Patch

This is a fully embroidered rare Apollo 12

Easily-recognizable by its distinctive pattern of stars, this patch - thought to have been made by Dallas Cap & Emblem Manufacturing Inc. (the company went out of business in the early 70s after losing a major legal case regarding trademark infringement) - is the one clearly visible on the jump suits of the crew in many photos taken whilst they were in quarantine. Examples of this patch were flown on the mission as souvenirs and flown and unflown examples are often seen mounted on flown flag presentations produced by the crew after the flight.

Three variant versions of this patch appear to have been produced at the time of the mission, with examples of all three having been carried as souvenirs on the flight.
