Author	Topic: Lion Brothers' 1989 Glavkosmos patches
Rambler Typhoon Member Posts: 55 From: Registered: Dec 2015	posted 08-11-2023 01:37 PM I got some Buran and Interkosmos patches today from a source that sold the Glavkosmos licensed pins and patches back in 1989. It had a few interesting bits of information included. There was only one of these red patch backers, but it nicely lays out the license information. There was also a partial vendor bag of these Buran patches that included a Lion Brothers tag, so presumably that was the vendor for all these patches? Does this match with what others know of this patch release? As a side note, for anyone interested in Star Trek items, at least some of the commercially available patches in the 1980s were made by Lion Brothers.
