Description
Ex. Buzz Aldrin
Apollo 11 Flown Beta Cloth Mission Insignia Originally from the
Personal Collection of Mission Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin,
Signed, with Signed LOA. A 9" x 9" (5.5" x 7.5" sight size)
Beta cloth patch matted and framed to an overall 9.5" x 11.5". It
is signed "Buzz Aldrin" beneath the 3.375" diameter
insignia. Attached to the back of the frame is a 5.5" x 3.25"
signed LOA with the following information: "This is to certify that
this patch printed on space suit material was carried to the Moon
on Apollo 11 July 20, 1969 [signed] Buzz Aldrin". The "space
suit material" Aldrin mentions is fire-resistant Beta cloth
developed by Dow-Corning as a reaction to the tragic Apollo 1 fire
where the astronauts' nylon spacesuits melted and fused together.
Gifted by Aldrin to his older sister Fay Ann. Obtaining such a
large flown artifact that was originally retained by the second man
to walk on the Moon is a rare opportunity. Very fine.A Letter of Authenticity signed by Mrs. Potter's son (the executor of her estate) will accompany this lot.
