Does anyone know what was the last mission that Lion Brothers produced patches for before going out of business?

Thanks,

Hi Andrew,

Did Lion Brothers go out of business or just stop producing space patches?

I may be wrong, but I believe I have read STS-1 or 2 was the last time Lions Bros patches were made or worn by a crew.

Don't quote me...maybe Jacques can provide some info.

Hi Steve and thanks for the link, I suspect they just stopped producing spaceflight insignia, but the question remains at which mission. I've seen early STS-30s patches advertised as LB, so I'm going to investigate this further and I'll let you know what I find out.

Andrew,

You might want to touch base with Donnis Willis. He usually has several of the Lion Brothers patches listed on his web site and might be able to narrow it down for you. Or maybe Jacques knows the answer...

I am interested in the answer so please let me know what you find out...

Thanks Much,
