Apollo/Mercury Program pins/badges
Hi guys!! I recently found these beautiful old commemorative astronaut pins at a shop in Melbourne, can anyone here tell me about them?
Were these made by NASA themselves or were they done unofficially?
Also, does anyone know if similar pins were made for the other Apollo missions?
I've found ones for the rest of the Mercury 7, but the only ones for the other Apollo missions I've found were of the insignias, not the political badge kind of look that mine have. Any info you could share would be much appreciated!!!

Very interesting items, but this is a sports card forum, so there may not be many people on here that have any expertise with this type of collectible.

Your best bet would probably be to go to collectSpace.com via the link below. If you click on it (yes, it's perfectly safe), and go to the bottom of the page, under "Space Collecting", you'll see a forum called "Patches & Pins". Post your question and picture there, and I'm sure someone there would be able to help.
