Description
Ex. Michael Collins
Gemini 10 Flown Embroidered Mission Insignia Patch Originally
from the Personal Collection of Mission Pilot Michael Collins, with
Handwritten and Signed Letter of Authenticity. This 3.375" x 3"
patch (Crew Patch by Texas Art Embroidery) flew with crewmembers
John Young and Michael Collins aboard the earth-orbit Gemini 10
mission, July 18-21, 1966. The insignia is simple but symbolic.
There is a large red Roman numeral "X" against a light blue
background with two spacecraft orbiting it- a Gemini capsule and an
Agena Target Vehicle. There are two stars in gold signifying either
the two crewmembers, the two rendezvous, and/or the two "twin"
stars in the Gemini constellation, Castor and Pollux. It is one of
the few mission patches without the crew's names. Included is an
LOA on Collins' notepaper reading: "This Gemini X crew patch was
carried on the flight (July 1966) to a world altitude record. Mike
Collins/ January 8, 2004". Rare. Only the second Collins patch
Heritage has offered. Excellent. From the Family Collection of
Jacques Bracke.
