Desirable Apollo 17 patch presentation from the collection of Otto Berg, featuring a 4″ diameter embroidered mission patch affixed to a 10 x 12 certificate, reading: "This Apollo XVII emblem symbolizes Apollo, its traditions, and its future. It is presented in appreciation of your contributions to our mission—the end of the beginning." Facsimile signatures of the three Apollo 17 crewmen are printed below. In very good to fine condition, with overall foxing to the parchment certificate, a light block of toning from prior display, and a spot of adhesive residue to one corner. Berg's Lunar Ejecta and Meteorites (LEAM) experiment was carried on Apollo 17 and deployed on the lunar surface during the mission.
From the collection of Dr. Otto Berg.
