Gene Cernan’s rare Apollo 17 ‘EC’ crew patch, 4.5″ in diameter, fully embroidered with a merrowed border and 'tail.’ In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Novaspace and the ‘Gene Cernan Garage Sale.’ Produced by AB Emblem, these uncommon initial crew patches were never officially released to the public and are easily identified by their larger size, the presence of an extra star above Apollo's shoulder, and crew initials hidden in the dark lower right background. A desirable and rare ‘EC’ patch from the collection of the last man on the moon.
