This Omega Speedmaster box is currently being offered on eBay as an authentic 1966 Gemini 12 commemorative box. This box would be the first of its kind to be seen and it's believed to less than authentic.

It appears the silk mission insignia has been cut, wrapped around something, and inserted into the box. Does anyone here have any thoughts on where the silk patch could have been cut from?
