Rare 'Grumman' Apollo 10 crew patch, 4 x 4, fully embroidered with a merrowed edge and tail. In fine condition. These attractive patches, which vividly portray the Grumman-made LM firing its thrusters as it prepares to dock with the Rockwell-made CSM, were provided by Grumman to their employees and to the Apollo 10 to be flown as souvenirs.
Similar in overall appearance to the Lion Brothers patch, including the cross-shaped RCS thrusters on the LEM, but the coloration is subtly different, like in the LEM rocket trail and the left half of the CSM trail. In addition, there are some differences in the design, such as the absence of craters to the left of the base of the X. The most easily spotted difference is the open horseshoe-shaped crater to the right of the LEM rocket flame.
