Description
Gemini 12 Flown Fliteline Silver-colored Medallion Directly from the Personal Collection of Mission Commander James Lovell. This 25mm medal flew aboard Gemini 12 with crewmembers James Lovell and Buzz Aldrin, November 11-15, 1966. The obverse features the mission insignia with the surnames of the astronauts, a Roman numeral "XII" at the twelve o'clock position, and the Gemini capsule positioned like a clock's hour hand. This was the final Gemini flight and the crescent moon at left symbolizes the ultimate goal of the space program. The reverse has the engraved dates of the mission. This flown medallion is in what is likely the original plastic case. Excellent condition with some light surface scratches.Included with this lot is a signed Letter of Certification from Lovell on his letterhead stating: "I hereby certify that this Fliteline Silver Colored Medallion was flown with me on board my Gemini 12 mission in November, 1966. This medal is from my personal collection of space artifacts and has been in my possession since the mission."
