This CRS SpX-19 patch is now available to buy from the AB Emblem website, with SKU patch design number 414523. It is another of the hybrid mostly printed and partly embroidered (the text and the merrowed border) patch. It is 4.5" long x 2.75" high.
The date code found so far is 09/19 40 (40 = China), but all the labels I've seen so far are missing the "Made In China" text under "A-B Emblem". This could either mean the wrong U.S. labels were sent to China and used there in error, or the U.S. labels were used correctly in Weaverville but "40" for China was printed on the labels instead of "20" for USA? This is the first time I have seen this particular error. But I have seen "10" for Taiwan used instead of "40" for China, and vise-versa from late 2009 through to late 2012.
This possible label error also appears on the third production run with date code 01/20 40.

Another version of the NASA CRS SpX-19 patch embedded label has been found with a different SKU design number than the previous one. This SKU patch design number belongs to the NASA Worm gold on black rectangular 4"x 2" patch with square corners.
