Rare original crew patch for the Gemini 12 mission, the 10th and final crewed Gemini flight. The patch measures 3″ in diameter and features a stitched border with cut edge. In fine condition. Genuine Gemini 12 crew patches are very rare as they were limited exclusively to the crew and various NASA personnel.
The patch's unique orange and black colors are a link to the flight's original scheduled date close to Halloween. The Roman numeral XII is located at the 12 o'clock position on the face of a clock, with the Gemini spacecraft pointing to it like the hour hand of a clock. This represents the position of Gemini 12 as the last flight of the Gemini program. With the Apollo project following this last flight of the Gemini program, the ultimate objective—the Moon—is symbolized by the crescent on the left.
