Description

Historic flown artifacts from each of Dave Scott's legendary Gemini and Apollo missions

Magnificent limited edition display of three flown artifacts from the personal collection of legendary NASA moonwalker Dave Scott, whose storied astronautical career is fully represented with this beautiful framed display, which is numbered 2 of 10. The items include: a 1″ gold-plated Fliteline medallion carried during the Gemini 8 mission; a 3.5″ embroidered Apollo 9 insignia patch carried into Earth’s orbit during the 10-day mission; and a 2.75″ x 1.75″ Beta cloth American flag that was carried to the surface of the moon during the Apollo 15 mission. These three items are matted together with a color panoramic photo of images from each mission that is signed three times by Scott in silver ink or black felt tip: “Gemini VIII, First to dock in space, Dave Scott, PLT,” “Apollo 9, Lunar Module First Flight, Dave Scott, LMP,” and “Apollo 15, First Lunar Roving Vehicle, Dave Scott, CDR.” Archivally framed with an engraved plaque to an overall size of 31.25 x 24.75. In overall very fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Scott, who attests to the flown status of each item and signs in blue ink below each of the three detailed item descriptions. Additionally, Scott notes that the reverse of the patch is signed and flight-certified, “A-9 Flown, D,” and that the flag “was carried inside a beta-cloth package mounted on an internal structural bracket of an Apollo 15 Oxygen Purge System (OPS) used for three days of EVA excursions during Apollo 15.”
