Description

From the collection of the Fliteline architect, a rare gold-plated medallion flown during the Gemini 6 mission

Flown gold-plated Gemini 6 Fliteline medallion, approximately 1˝ in diameter, with a raised design of the 'Castor and Pollux' mission insignia on the front, and the reverse engraved: "GT-GT-6, December 15–16, 1965." Condition is mint state, with noticeable fading to the gilt plating. A highly desirable flown medallion given that of the few examples that traveled with Wally Schirra and Tom Stafford on the Gemini 6 mission, only 10 were gold-plated, with the balance minted in silver.

RR Auction confirms that this flown Gemini 6 Fliteline medallion was professionally tested by a Thermo Scientific Niton machine, which detected the presence of gilt plating.





From the collection of Bailey K. Howard, the originator of the Fliteline medallions.
