Uncommon grouping of five lunar-related items, including a trio of flown relics from Apollo missions 11 and 15, two of which are attested as landing on the lunar surface. The items include: a 1.5˝ x 1˝ swatch of flown Kapton foil removed from the Apollo 11 Command Module Columbia, which was originally obtained by Ozzie Reid, a member of the North American Rockwell Recovery Team; a 1.5˝ x .5˝ section of electrical cable from CDR Dave Scott’s Portable Life Support System (PLSS), which was carried to and used on the surface of the moon during the Apollo 15 mission, and which derives from Scott’s personal collection; and a 1.25˝ x .75˝ swatch of Beta cloth cut from CDR Scott's stowage bag that was flown to the lunar surface during the Apollo 15 mission. The latter two Apollo 15 items bear traces of dust from the Hadley-Apennine region of the moon. These three items are matted and displayed with additional moon-related items: a pair of lunar meteorite fragments, certified by the Hupe Collection and identified as "Feldspathic Impact-Melt-Breccia found in Egypt, April 2002"; and several strands of hair from the head of Neil Armstrong, which were cut and saved by his barber, Mark Sizemore, in April of 2004. All of these items are framed together to an overall size of 23˝ x 14.5˝. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by photocopied provenance from Buzz Aldrin, Dave Scott, Sizemore, the North American Rockwell Apollo Launch Team, and the Spaceflori Corporation.
