Mission Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean's Family Collection, with
Certificate of Authenticity, in Framed Display. A 5.5" x 4"
U.S. cloth flag matted with a 25.5" x 23" (sight size) print issued

three standing on the moon, with Gordon looking surprised as Bean

matted and framed to an overall 33.5" x 34.5". Bean has signed the
flag on the lower right corner: "Flown to the moon/ Apollo XII
Nov 69/ Alan L Bean". The entire crew has signed the "Fantasy"
print: "Charles Conrad Jr", "Dick Gordon", and
"Alan Bean". Excellent. From the estate of Moonwalker and
Artist Alan Bean.Included in this lot is a signed Certificate of Authenticity from Alan Bean on his personal letterhead. It reads, in full: "I hereby certify that the accompanying 4 inch by 5½ inch American flag, signed by me in the lower right hand corner, and the Apollo 12 embroidered mission patch mounted below [not included], flew with Pete Conrad, Dick Gordon and me during our Apollo 12 mission in November 1969. Our flag and patch are symbols of the extraordinary commitment, intelligence, and heart of all the Americans who made it possible for us to land on the moon. I remember the patriotic pride I felt saluting the American flag Pete and I placed on the Ocean of Storms. The flag and the patch made 45 orbits of the moon in our command module, 'Yankee Clipper' before returning to planet Earth with us. [signed] Alan Bean"
