I am selling two Lion Brothers 3.5" Apollo 11 patches. Item number 222621681838.The patches are in mint condition, still sealed in their original plastic. According to Crewpatches.com these are rare. |

For what it's worth, that patch does not look like a Lion Brothers patch to me. I'd be interested to read the opinion of others. |

Have a look here to the Apollo 11 patch page of the Crew Patches website. There is an example of the Lion Brothers 3.5" Apollo 11 patch. It looks like the same to me.This web page also has information about this patch, including that it was only made available to NASA, and accompanied the set of four mission specialty patches. |

I'm no expert on patches, but I have a Lion Brothers Apollo 11 patch and it and the image on the Crew Patches site don't look like the one on eBay to me — the one on eBay looks cruder to me. |

Just to clarify, I was referring to this 3.5 inch Lions Brothers patch on the Crewpatches.com website. Here is my patch on eBay.This is not the 4 inch patch, but a smaller (cruder) 3.5 inch patch which accompanied the mission specialty patches (according to the Crew patches website). |
