Alan Bean's sterling silver praying angel charm attested as having been flown to the lunar surface aboard the Lunar Module Intrepid during the Apollo 12 mission, measuring approximately .75˝ tall, marked “STER” on the bottom. In fine condition. Representing Bean's deference to the fields of science and religion, this small token of faith spent a remarkable 33 hours on the lunar surface.
Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Amy Bean, the daughter of Alan Bean, who attests to the charm’s flown status as part of the Apollo 12 mission. This lot mirrors that of another Bean-owned angel charm that was flown to the moon during Apollo 12 and sold by RR Auction in 2016.
