I have a few of these extremely rare vintage one-piece Baudry-only tab STS-51E Swissartex patches to offer to collectors.

Prior to the cancellation of the STS-51E mission and the addition of Senator Garn to the crew roster, both AB Emblem and Swissartex produced one-piece versions of the mission emblem with Patrick Baudry's name in a tab at the bottom of the patch.

However, following the cancellation these original patches were re-utilized by trimming off the name tab and sewing on a new "Baudry Garn" name tab. No examples of the original AB Emblem Baudry-only patches are known to have survived this process, and only a handful of the Swissartex patches have been discovered to-date (just 5 known examples).

This therefore represents an extremely rare opportunity to acquire an original uncirculated example of one of these legendary cancelled mission patches at $199.

To purchase one of these patches please go to the Store page of my Crew Patches website.

For more background on these patches, you can see my page here or Liem Bahneman's write-up of this patch here.

I still have a few of these patches left, in case anyone missed the original posting.
