Flown Skylab 2 Beta patch cut from Pilot Paul Weitz's tan inflight jacket, measuring 3.75˝ x 3.75˝, displayed with a signed letter of provenance from Weitz, in full: "The Skylab I Beta emblem displayed with this letter was originally on one of my tan inflight jackets that I wore during the first manned Skylab mission. Skylab I was the first flight to the Skylab space station which had a duration of 28 days during 1973. As our mission progressed, worn crew clothing was routinely disposed of after several days use. Prior to disposal into the large aft waste tank, I cut this emblem from my jacket. On the reverse side over the tan Durette material, I have inscribed and signed: 'Taken from my inflight jacket worn on Skylab I (SL-2), Paul Weitz, PLT.'" Matted and framed with a portrait of Weitz wearing his tan inflight jacket to an overall size of 20.25 x 14.75. In fine condition. An appealing flown piece from America's first manned space station mission, which established a record for human spaceflight duration.
