Al Worden's appealing embroidered Apollo 15 mission insignia patch by AB Emblem, measuring 4″ in diameter, inset into a shield-shaped 7″ x 8″ wooden plaque. Created by Italian fashion designer Emilio Pucci, the Apollo 15 mission insignia features three stylized birds in red, white, and blue soaring over the Hadley-Apennine region of the lunar surface, representing the three astronauts and their USAF careers, as well as the landing site of Apollo 15. The name of the mission, "Apollo 15," and the astronauts' surnames, "Scott, Worden, Irwin," encircle the border. In fine condition. A handsome display piece from the personal collection of an Apollo astronaut.
From the collection of Apollo 15 CMP Al Worden, and accompanied by a letter of provenance from his daughter Alison (Worden) Penczak.
