Flown charm featuring the Apollo 16 mission insignia, measuring approximately .75″ in diameter, carried into orbit inside John Young’s Personal Preference Kit on Apollo 16. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity stating that the charm “is one of fifteen that comes from the personal collection of Apollo 16 Commander John Young, who took them sealed in a plastic pouch…onboard the Apollo 16 Command Module, Casper.” Also includes a plastic case and engraved descriptive plaque, as well as an embroidered Apollo 16 patch with an affixed printed label on the reverse reading, “A special gift for you from Charlie Duke.” A rare and attractive flown piece.
