Opinions guys? This Gemini 7 back-up crew patch doesn't look like the real deal to me?

It's clearly a new product. I'm not sure they claim it's a vintage patch and they're selling in bulk at 10 Euros, so there doesn't seem to be any deception here.

Not vintage, the Gemini VII backup patch design has been around a while, another version can be see here. I think the ones for sale on eBay were made based on copying that image, if you look closely at the lettering the sewing is slightly different in a few places.

There is also a similar Gemini XII backup patch design that I believe was made at the same time.

I somewhat remember that the original versions of these fantasy patches were made by Eagle One, maybe someone more knowledgeable can add to this.

The Gemini 12 back up was made by Eagle One and they also made the one for Gemini 7 but I believe it was a black patch like the 7 patch.
