Anyone know if a patch was designed (worn by the pilot?) for SpaceShipOne's historic June 21, 2004 flight?

Melvill did not wear a mission-specific patch. He wore the insignia of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots on his right shoulder and on his left, the emblem of Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne Test Flight program (the design and name SpaceShipOne are trademarks of Paul G. Allen's Mojave Aerospace Ventures):

One thing that's worth noting is that the patch Rocket Boosters offered in the past is not the same as the actual patch that Melvill and Binnie wore on the flights (which is pictured above).

The actual flight patches have been offered on eBay a few times (I managed to get a set of them that way), but they're tough to find.

Here's a look at the patch distributed to the guests attending the 10th anniversary celebration of the Ansari X Prize on Oct. 4, 2014:

Does anyone have a good scan of the SpaceShipOne flight test patch that is pictured at an angle above? Any help would be most appreciated!
