Scarce Apollo-Soyuz (ASTP) Initialed (TPS) & Regular Crew Patches

Description

Extremely rare Apollo-Soyuz Test Program (ASTP) "TPS" initialed crew patch & scarce regular ASTP crew patch are being sold together.
Only 150 examples of the scarce oversized (4 3/4 inches) ASTP initialed (bottom center of the patch) crew patches were made exclusively for each of the member of the three man Apollo crew. The patch being sold pictured on the left was one of the 150 made for Gemini 6, Gemini 9 and Apollo 10 veteran astronaut Thomas P Stafford (initials TPS) for this historic rendezvous mission with the Soviet Union during the cold war in 1975. Become one of the very few to own this piece of space history.
Also included with this sale is the scarce ASTP regular (4") crew patch. As documented in the authoritative Chris Spain created website for space crew patches (crewpatches.com), the regular crew patch can be differentiated from the commonly available AB Emblem ASTP patch by "the distinct gap between the blue and red blocks of thread around the stars and the outer red border."
