From the personal collection of Apollo 14 moonwalker Edgar Mitchell—a flown 6.25˝ x 4˝ American flag carried into lunar orbit on Apollo 14, flight-certified along the bottom in black felt tip, "Carried to the moon on Apollo," and attested to in a certificate of authenticity signed by Mitchell, who writes that this "USA flag was carried in my personal preference kit (PPK) aboard Kittyhawk from January 31, 1971 to February 9, 1971 during the Apollo 14 mission." It seems that Mitchell did not finish preparing these flown flag presentations prior to his passing, as the certificate erroneously states that the flag bears his signature; it is one of several such examples originating directly from his personal collection. In fine condition.
Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Karlyn Mitchell, the daughter of Edgar Mitchell.
