Description

Alan Bean's pair of sterling silver cufflinks attested as having been flown to the lunar surface aboard the Lunar Module Intrepid during the Apollo 12 mission. The cufflinks, both 1˝ x .5˝, feature a design of three gothic crosses against a faded black inlay, with the reverse marked “Sterling” and engraved with the maker’s mark of James Avery, which shows a JA three-candled candelabrum. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Amy Bean, the daughter of Alan Bean, who attests to the cufflinks' flown status as part of the Apollo 12 mission. This lot mirrors that of another pair of Bean-owned three-cross ‘JA’ cufflinks that were flown to the moon during Apollo 12 and sold by RR Auction in 2016.
