Flown 5.5 x 4 American flag carried to the South Pole from January 9–15, 1970, and then flown to lunar orbit aboard the Command Module Endeavor during the Apollo 15 mission from July 26 to August 7, 1971, signed with his first initial on the bottom white stripe in blue ink, “D,” and adding “SP, A–15.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from Dave Scott, in part: “I hereby certify that the United States flag included with this letter...was carried to the South Pole, Antarctica...and then flown in lunar orbit for six days aboard the CSM Endeavor during Apollo 15...This South Pole/Apollo 15 US Flag has been in my personal collection since returning to Earth.” Flags carried on any Apollo mission are highly desirable, with this particular flag making an extra trip to Earth’s southernmost point.
