I'm getting some A16 stuff framed and I was thinking about adding an original A16 patch to the display. I do not really know much about patches. Do I want an AB patch or a Lion Bros. patch? Does anyone have one to sell?

You used the correct wording in "Original" and not official.

You can use either a Lion Brothers or an AB Emblem patch for the frame. The Lion Brothers were only produced at the time of the launch and a Vintage AB Emblem can be purchased which would be both original and official. The Lion Brothers are more valued by most collectors, they seem to be of better quality. However an Apollo 16 vintage AB Emblem is one of the best emblems I have found for this era. Personal preference I guess. Send me an email I may be able to help.
