Description

From the man behind the medallion—a rare gold-plated Fliteline medallion flown during the Gemini 9 mission

Flown gold-plated sterling silver Gemini 9 Fliteline medallion, 1˝ x .75˝, featuring a raised design of the mission insignia on the front, and the reverse engraved: "Gemini IX, June 3–6, 1966," with the astronauts' names on either side, "Stafford" and "Cernan." Hallmarked "Sterling" at the bottom. Condition is mint state, with trivial scuffing, noticeable fading to the gilt plating, and a small hole has been bored into the upper section to allow for presentation purposes.

RR Auction confirms that this flown Gemini 9 Fliteline medallion was professionally tested by a Thermo Scientific Niton machine, which detected the presence of gilt plating.





From the collection of Bailey K. Howard, the originator of the Fliteline medallions.
