Yesterday, I arranged all of my A-B Emblem patches from the space shuttle program in chronological order.

In that light, I have a question regarding the text on the back label of the Russian version of the STS-60 mission emblem.

Thank you in advance!

Details such as the number and date on the embedded back label on each patch.

I have the same request for the ISS-33 insignia and STS-62 patch. The rest all patches I have with good information at back.

To my knowledge, both vintage and modern versions of the STS-60 Cyrillic patch are without labels (possibly because they were not intended for retail distribution).

Per Kevin Randall's research, vintage examples of the STS-62 patch had no label. A modern example had a label with 69303 USA 11/11 10.

As for Expedition 33, a prototype was labeled 185015 ---- 09/2725 and a regular issue was 187592U ---- 01/04/20 (with numerous other date codes and code errors subsequently).

I can not remember at the time that this patch was not for retail distribution. I believe both versions were available.

All times are CT (US)
