Description
Ex. John Young
Apollo 10 Flown Embroidered Mission Insignia "Post-Flight" Crew
Patch Directly from the John W. Young Collection, with Letter of
Certification. This 4" x 4.25" shield-shaped patch flew with
crewmembers Stafford, Young, and Cernan aboard the Apollo 10
mission to the moon, May 18-26, 1969. The design for this insignia
shows a large, three-dimensional "X" sitting on the moon with a
command module orbiting as a lunar module flies up to it from its
pass over the lunar surface. Earth is visible in the background.
Inside a medium blue border is "APOLLO" at top and the crew
surnames below. It is bordered in gold thread. The "post-flight"
refers to the fact that this flown patch is identical to the ones
worn on the crew's post-flight jump suits. A rare opportunity to
acquire the two different crew patches (see adjacent lot) in one
auction. Excellent.Included with this lot is a Letter of Certification signed by Young's widow, Susy Young. It reads, in full: "I hereby certify that the Apollo 10 'Post-Flight' Embroidered Mission patch that accompanies this letter was flown to the Moon aboard the Apollo 10 mission May 18-26, 1969. This patch was part of John W. Young's personal collection since the mission. The protective package holding the patch is sealed with a holographic tamper-proof label, #1745100, to ensure authenticity, that will display a residual honeycomb design without number if removed."
