I am selling an STS 41-F oversize patch. I suspect that this is one of those which Chris Spain has described on his website as follows:

It is sometimes speculated that this oversized version of the STS-41F mission patch may be the "lost" version from Lion Brothers. However, the plastic backing on the back does not match the styles used by Lion Brothers.
At the time, Cape Kennedy Medals was apparently producing shuttle patches, but this patch does not match the rather crude style of previous and subsequent patches, so it is probably not from them.
It seems most likely that it was made by either Swissartex (the filler thread patterns are similar to their style) or AB Emblems.

I look forward to questions and offers, please send them to me by e-mail.
