I am curious if this patch is from a contractor or from the Kennedy Space Center government support team?

I have seen a version that has Ed White's First EVA in place of the MMU on the one I just acquired on eBay (item number 321895655462). I have a feeling a paid too much, but I do not see this pop very often.

Looks like a bad copy of the original patch.

It wasn't KSC, government or contractor.

The original is from JSC. The design was the result of a contest among employees.

Thanks. It did look like a replica to me as well.

Any idea of the value of a real one?
