Gordon Cooper's pair of gold-tone Apollo Lunar Module cufflinks, featuring three-dimensional .75˝ x .5˝ sculptural representations of the lunar lander, attached to their gold-tone swivel posts. Displayed on an off-white 5 x 3 stationery card embossed with Cooper's name. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by Cooper, in full: "Displayed on my stationary card are some Lunar Module cuff links. Several of us astronauts acquired these items at gift shops during the many visits to our contractor teams developing Apollo equipment. These cuff links remind me of the many hours I spent working at the Grumman facility near Bethpage, New York during training and check out of Lunar Module 4 for the Apollo 10 mission. I supported Tom Stafford and his crew as the back-up commander. Apollo 10 really helped pave the way to enable Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to make the first manned lunar landing in July of 1969."
