•
Variations:
The photos are stock. Minor variations will occur between each patch naturally due to thread placement at factory. No patch will be shipped to you that does not meet the quality of the image taken.
•
100% satisfaction guaranteed.

Note:
Some may recognize that six patches from the series draw upon ones that were once used to celebrate the 100th anniversary of a major US law enforcement agency. Those original six GMAN Emblem patches are no longer available, but occasionally pop up for sale on EBay. The copyright holder received numerous requests for these, but because he did not want to reissue them with agency affiliation (to maintain their collectability as an anniversary set), he has used his original designs for those six patches for this series…and is creating new patches too.
Read about the incidents depicted on the patches on the internet to learn more about them. Here is an article from the internet:
Hindenburg LZ129 (Source: Wikipedia)
LZ 129 Hindenburg (Luftschiff Zeppelin #129; Registration: D-LZ 129) was a large German commercial passenger-carrying rigid airship, the lead ship of the Hindenburg class, the longest class of flying machine and the largest airship by envelope volume.[2] It was designed and built by the Zeppelin Company (Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH) on the shores of Lake Constance in Friedrichshafen and was operated by the German Zeppelin Airline Company (Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei). The airship flew from March 1936 until it was destroyed by fire 14 months later on May 6, 1937, at the end of the first North American transatlantic journey of its second season of service. Thirty-six people died in the accident, which occurred while landing at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States. This was the last of the great airship disasters; it was preceded by the crashes of the British R38 in 1921 (44 dead), the US airship Roma in 1922 (34 dead), the French Dixmude in 1923 (52 dead), the British R101 in 1930 (48 dead), and the USS Akron in 1933 (73 dead).
Hindenburg was named after the late Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, President of Germany from 1925 until his death in 1934.
