I have just found this patch on eBay. It looks like a STS-41F patch in a sealed Swissartex KSC type 'A' card header packet.But it could also be a Swissartex STS-51D with the sew on tab missing, then sealed into the KSC packet? Any other thoughts? |

Kevin, it looks to me like an original patch with no tab ever attached. Nice find. |

Those are my thoughts Jim, though I won't know for sure until I see it first hand myself.The seller assures me the packet has never been opened or tampered with. It was found in a box of other random household items belonging to his aunt and uncle, who have recently moved from Florida to Arizona. |

Nice catch. Didn't even show up on my saved searches. It doesn't look like it ended with a bid or buy it now? |

It was only offered as a Buy It Now for $9.95 Liem. So I bought it first and asked the questions afterwards. The seller had no real idea as to the possible significance and rarity of what he was selling. |
