A-B Emblem is offering a CRS SpaceX 28 patch with a manufacturing error:
Wrong color of grey used in the border and module.

My patch seller in Germany sent me the attached photo. Supplier is A-B Emblem (design no. is 456001).

I wrote him back the following:

In your photo, half of the rear part of the Dragon (top right) is dark and the other part is gray; in the photo of the AB Emblem (error version), this part is completely dark gray, as is the border.

Another "error patch?"

Is there any information on this?

Yes this does look like another different error version of the SpaceX CRS SpX-28 patch.

Do you know which type of embedded label is on the back? (Is it with the new style A-B Emblem "crown" logo, or is it with the old style all white label?) (Answer below).

Also what is the date code on this patch? (Answer below).

Yes, Werner's SpX-28 patch is a new and different variant error. It has the following details on the embedded label:
  • 456001 A-B Emblem Made In China 07/23/40 (on new style A-B Emblem "crown logo" labels)

The CRS-28 patch has arrived.

Dragon spaceship top right:

  • The outlines on the front part are clearly visible.
  • One half of the rear part is light gray with five dark gray lines.
  • The other half is dark gray with three black lines.
Back of the patch (white sticker):
456001
A-B EMBLEM
Made in China
07/23/40
In my opinion, this patch corresponds more closely to the NASA artwork as posted above and is therefore not a misproduction.

New information from the seller:
AB Emblems has advised that they will be sending a new (apparently correct) set.
Label identification?
