Description
THE PERSONAL COLLECTION OF CHARLIE DUKE
Apollo 11 Lunar Surface Flown Beta Cloth Mission Insignia
Presented by the Three Man Crew to Mission CAPCOM Charlie Duke in
Framed Display, Directly from His Personal Collection. An
awe-inspiring display that features a 4" diameter (sight size)
swatch of Beta cloth with a 3.375" diameter mission insignia
depicting an eagle carrying an olive branch to the moon with the
Earth in the distance. Framed with two 5" x 7" canvas color photos
on either side of iconic images of the first lunar landing. All
have been matted and framed to an overall 22.5" x 12.5". Affixed to
the frame is a metal plate that states: "Presented To/ Charlie
Duke/ In Appreciation For Your Service To Apollo 11/ From Neil,
Mike, & Buzz". Duke served as the voice from Earth to the crew on
the historic lunar landing. Such a fitting gift to the man who was
the link between Mission Control and the brave men risking their
lives in the name of exploration. Apollo 11 lunar surface flown
items are some of the most desirable items from the space race. We
are honored to offer such an incredibly unique and important
example. This is truly an extraordinary opportunity. Frame shows
some age related wear, overall very fine. Included with this lot is
a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Charlie Duke.
