Double-sided flown checklist page, 8 x 6, from the Apollo 17 'LM Lunar Surface Checklist' that was used on the lunar surface, signed in black ink by Gene Cernan and bearing his flight certification stamp: “Landed on the Moon, aboard the Apollo 17 LM ‘Challenger.’” Representing the opening page of the checklist, this particular leaf is numbered 1-1 and 1-2 with tabs marked “FIRST REV ACT.” The pages detail procedures used shortly after the lunar module landed on the surface of the moon, with value fields to both sides marked in black felt tip, and the left edge annotated, “This is the beginning, not the end”; the sentence, doubtlessly a reference to the page’s place in the checklist, also bears a sentimental quality given the Apollo 17 mission’s place in history. In fine condition. Accompanied by a color glossy 8.5 x 11 photo of Cernan holding the complete checklist from which this page originated.
