Description

Gemini X Flown Pilot's Preference Kit (PPK), Signed and Certified, Directly from the Personal Collection of Michael Collins, CAG Certified. Presented here is a 4" x 8" gray nylon bag with checkered pattern that features a 2" side gusset and a 1.375" bottom gusset. At top are eight metal-grommeted holes and original drawstring. It has been signed on front: "Michael Collins/ Gemini X to a/ World Altitude Record/ July, 1966". Also written on front in unknown hand is "(Flags/Patches)", "Collins/ (2 PPK". The verso features vertically printed NASA part number "CF 55053-2", as well as handwritten "Collins/ (2 PPK". Accompanying the kit is a handwritten note on Collins' letterhead: "This Personal/ Preference Kit (PPK)/ S-N CF 55053-2,/ was flown by me/ on Gemini X in/ July 1966 to a world/ altitude record,/ and has been in my/ personal possession/ since then./ Michael Collins/ Gemini X Pilot". The PPK's purpose was to allow astronauts to carry small items of a personal nature on each manned flight. Flown PPK's are scarce and among the most highly coveted of flown Space artifacts. An outstanding relic and opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind item from the first spaceflight of Collins' career. Sealed in a numbered archival holder, CAG1000461-003. Excellent.
