T O P I C R E V I E WDavid StephensonHi everyone,i wonder if anyone can help me some imformation on some patches i have just bought.Up to now all my space related patches have been embroided but the ones i have just aquired seem to be felt backed and the design on the front has a a rubber feel and look to them.They are Russian by the way,are they are copies or a new way of producing patches.They are Russian made.Thanks for any help you can give.David.KSCartistDave- Scans would be a great help. I would check with Jacques at spacepatches.info. He is a great patch historian.TimDavid StephensonHi Tim,i will get in touch with Jacques,many thanks for your help.Davidsnf13Hi David - I have several original Russian patches from my Shuttle Mir days that are felt backed and rubber on top. In particular they are the launch complexes. I do have some duplicates that are stitched and much older. The rubbery ones are still authentic - they just found a different way to make them. While they can still be authentic, you have no way of knowing when they were produced.
