Just ordered two. Thanks Chris, these look great but that's just par for the course given your stellar efforts on other patches in the series (you don't consider them part of the same series but I do for all intents and purposes).We asked and you delivered - thanks! |

Chris, was there ever a thought of producing a patch for LM-2, similar to the ones produced for the Mercury flights... post mission? Possibly depicting it's original earth-orbiting Apollo 8 mission?Congratulations on doing such a fantastic job! (Also, on the LM-3 patch, the lower right corner looks like the launch vehicle, however I'm having difficulty identifying what is on the lower left corner.) |

I can only say that this again is a wonderfully executed patch. Received mine today and it looks just fabulous! If it were not for the 'made in China' sticker on the back you would think it was an original. I compared the two and it is really well doneThank you Chris, I look forward to your next project! |

And I also have received mine. Finding this design (along with the impending end of the shuttle program last year) really got me back into the patch collecting hobby after it had lain dormant with me for a while. Getting that Apollo 5 replica (which is fantastic and virtually indistinguishable from the original) sort of marks my 1st anniversary on this site! It has been a great year, including that view I had of STS-135 coming in, silhouetted against the lightening sunrise as I stood out there at the Wildlife Refuge HQ entrance... I saw my first, and last, shuttle landing up close. Unforgettable. And through eBay transactions I have been in contact with many of the leading posters on this site. You all have been great! You can look forward to making even more $$$ from me this coming year.  |

Yes, the patch looks fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone who might be sitting on the fence. |

A great looking patch that really tops off the previous patches in this series. Beautifully done! Thanks Chris. |

Chris, again a job WELL DONE!I also like the artwork on the envelope which is different from the patch itself. What is the history behind the envelope artwork? |

It is indeed another beautiful production, especially considering how challenging the design must have been to reproduce.As for the envelope, the art appears to be a thematic tie-in to Chris' crewpatches.com website design, rather than specific to individual patches as he's done to this point. |

I did make an LM-1 specific 'cachet' design but some of you might not have received that particular envelope as I ran out at one stage.The design was obviously based on the LM-1 patch design but with the artwork cobbled together from other sources. |

Great, Chris! You did it! I was real waiting for this one. I have collected one Apollo astronaut's autograph per flown mission and framed it starting with Apollo X together with the matching Lion Brothers patch and your Grumman replica patch (for the Apollo 7 and 8 missions I had a Lion Brothers and 25th Anniversary patch to have two patches framed with the autographed picture). Thanks for doing the LM-3 patch! - I have ordered one for me right now and I will frame it together with Rusty Schweickart's autograph... On edit: I have put your beautiful LM-1 Patch in my collection of Apollo patches. Has there ever been a LM-2 patch? |

I KNEW this was going to happen at some point.  Glad you decided to do this one also, and I have ordered mine. IF it's possible, could I request a special envelope for it, and maybe also for the LM-1 from last year if you have any now available (I was one of those who didn't get one with that patch when it was sent...) Haven't talked myself into getting the full Grumman set yet but I will definitely be getting at least a couple of them at some point later. Thanks! |
