Flown Personal Preference Kit (PPK) Beta cloth bag carried into lunar orbit on the Apollo 15 mission by CDR Dave Scott, 12 x 14, signed and flight-certified on the reverse in black felt tip, "Flown in Lunar Orbit for 6 days aboard Apollo 15, Dave Scott, Apollo 15 CDR." A felt tip annotation on the front reads: "Kit, Pilot's Preference, SEB12100018-204, S/N 1177." In very good to fine condition, with expected wear from use.

Accompanied by a signed letter of authenticity from Scott, in part: "I hereby certify that the Apollo 15 'Kit Pilots Preference S/N 1177' beta cloth bag was flown in lunar orbit for six days aboard the CSM Endeavor during Apollo 15…Among the several items carried in this bag were copies of the United Nations Outer Space Treaty; its corresponding United Nations Rescue Agreement, and copies of the famous poem 'High Flight' by J. G. Magee, Jr. Also included were fragments of Eddie Rickenbacker's World War I 94th Aero Squadron Spad fighter (authenticated by the US Air Force Museum) in which he became the leading Ace of World War I…This PPK beta cloth bag has been in my personal collection since returning to Earth." A desirable flown format originally from the Commander's personal collection.
