Flown limited edition 8″ x 8.5″ swatch of Beta cloth bearing a 4″ x 3.5″ insignia of the Apollo 14 mission in the center, numbered 2/50, signed in black felt tip, "Edgar Mitchell—Moonwalker." The cloth bears a red "Lunar Receiving Laboratory" stamp initialed by Mitchell, "EM," a lengthy quote from Mitchell's book The Way of the Explorer, and a paragraph certifying its flown status, in part: "This Apollo 14 Mission Emblem, printed on fireproof 'Beta Cloth' and originating from my personal space collection, flew to the Moon aboard the Apollo 14 Command Module 'Kitty Hawk.'" The text on this Beta cloth was added later using the same silkscreen process that had been used for the mission emblem prior to flight. Matted and framed with a corresponding certificate of authenticity, also signed by Mitchell, to an overall size of 24.75 x 17.75. In fine condition.
