I have made a few updates to the pages of my Crew Patches site in the last couple of days, including:
The Apollo 9 page has been updated to note that the Crew Patch 'variant' was actually worn by Rusty Schweickart on one of his flight suits on the U.S.S. Guadalcanal after the recovery.
The Project Patches page has been updated to add an Apollo Project [ASPUNK2] patch which I believe matches that worn by Bill Anders in a photo taken during Apollo 8 training.
The Contractor Patches page has been updated to include a photo that shows Grumman employees at the KSC in 1970 wearing variant 2 of the Grumman Logo patch.
The Gemini 7 Crew Souvenir Patch entry has been updated to include a photo of Borman wearing this patch during Apollo 8 training in 1967.
The NASA Type IV insignia patch entry has been updated with a better image of Cunningham wearing the patch in August 1968 and to add a shot of Mike Collins wearing one in December of the same year.
I should note that all this is thanks to my belated purchase of a set of J.L Pickering's excellent photo compilation discs from RetroSpaceImages.com.

Another update today, thanks to collector Mike Riches, a new version of the Apollo 16 patch AS16UNK3.
