Description

From the collection of the Fliteline architect, a rare gold-plated medallion honoring the tragic Apollo 1 mission

Unflown gold-plated Apollo 1 Flightline medallion commemorating the tragic mission, approximately 1.25˝ in diameter, with a raised design of the mission insignia on the face, and raised text of the astronauts' surnames and mission on the reverse. Condition is mint state, with noticeable fading to the gilt plating, a bit of tarnishing to edges, and an area of toning to reverse. A historic medallion, one of a limited number prepared for flight on Apollo 1, that never reached its destination due to the tragedy.

RR Auction confirms that this unflown Apollo 1 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.
