Alan Bean's metal lunar module emblem, .75˝ x .5˝, attested as having been flown to the lunar surface aboard the Lunar Module Intrepid during the Apollo 12 mission. The small emblem is attached to a tie clip, which measures 1.75˝ x .5˝ and is engraved “Apollo XII.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Amy Bean, the daughter of Alan Bean, who attests to the emblem's lunar surface-flown status as part of the Apollo 12 mission. This lot mirrors that of another Bean-owned ‘Apollo XII’ tie clip with an affixed miniature LM that was flown to the moon during Apollo 12 and sold by RR Auction in 2016.
