Flown printed fabric American flag patch, 6.25 x 4.25, worn on Lousma’s PBI S1030A Ejection Escape suit during the launch and landing of the shuttle Columbia’s STS-3 mission. Signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint, “Worn on STS-3, Jack Lousma, CDR STS-3.” Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Lousma which reads, in part: “This is to certify that the accompanying STS-3 Flight Suit U. S. Flag Patch was flown aboard the Columbia STS-3 Shuttle and worn by me on my PBI S1030A Ejection Escape Suit during launch at the Kennedy Space Center and landing at White Sands…It was the policy of NASA and the Crew Systems Division to present each astronaut with the patches that were attached to our space flight suits. This…flag patch was attached to the left shoulder portion of my…Ejection Escape Suit.” Also accompanied by four color photos of Lousma, two in the suit after landing, one of Lousma signing the patch, and one more of him holding the flag patch. In fine condition. Flown items from the early shuttle missions are uncommon, and uniform patches even more so.
