Al Worden’s flown Apollo 15 ‘Silver XV’ crew patch that was carried into lunar orbit during the Apollo 15 mission, 4″ in diameter, signed and flight-certified on the reverse in black felt tip, “Flown to the Moon on Apollo 15, Al Worden.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity from Worden, who writes: “I hereby certify that this Apollo 15 mission patch with silver thread was part of a proof set given to me by the manufacturer. It has been in my possession since the flight.” Produced by AB Emblem, this rare flown patch was made exclusively for NASA and the crew. The crew patch has the "XV" in the background executed in silver thread. It also has a hallmark between the blue arrow and the "W" of Worden: a black stylized "E" for Italian designer Emilio Pucci, who created the Apollo XV emblem.
