This patch is listed on eBay as flown on STS-44.Has anyone seen this type of display with no signatures, embosses foil logo or any information on how long it was in space, miles flown or any of the usual information that comes with a space flown award?  |

Yes, while not typical for most missions, this is an official presentation style for STS-44. Another member of cS sent in a photo of their version presented to them directly (shown below) for inclusion in the photo archive online at SouvenirsOfSpace.com. If the seller is the original recipient, maybe they would sign the item to further enhance the provenance, just a thought. |

Kind of weird when you read through some of the threads and you see your name on an item.Those patches were flown for the 6555th ASTG for the support they provided to the secondary and primary payloads. It is was just a lowly Lt or Capt that put together those awards. I have several. Chuck, you would have seen them when I showed you my collection (but then again, I have more than 30). |

I have one of these in my collection as well. I wasn't sure of its legitimacy, but now it's nice to know that it's been awarded elsewhere. |
