From the personal collection of Apollo 14 moonwalker Edgar Mitchell—five flown 6˝ x 4˝ national flags carried into lunar orbit on Apollo 14, attested to in accompanying certificates of authenticity signed by Mitchell, who certifies that each flag was was carried in his personal preference kit (PPK) from January 31, 1971 to February 9, 1971 during the Apollo 14 mission. The five nations represented are Ethiopia, Guatemala, New Zealand, Portugal, and the Philippines. It seems that Mitchell did not finish preparing these flown flag presentations prior to his passing, as two certificates erroneously state that the flags bear his signature; however, only the certificates are signed. In overall fine condition. A unique lot representing the global appeal of the Apollo moon landings, boasting flown national flags from each of Earth's hemispheres.
Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Karlyn Mitchell, the daughter of Edgar Mitchell.
