Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by jefespace: [B]I'm looking for anyone who either has this patch as an original issue, or part of the set issued directly from SpaceX. Is it a fully embroidered patch consistent with all the other patches issued from SpaceX? I have a version which I pretty sure isn't Malaysia made, but has a partial twill background. Some of the details are also rougher than previous original issue patches, particularly the Dragon logo. Any input (as well as availability of an fully embroidered version) would be greatly appreciated.[/B][/QUOTE]
