Description
Apollo 12 Flown Silver Robbins Medallion, No Serial Number, from Alan Bean's Personal Collection with His Handwritten Certification. This 32mm sterling silver medal was flown to the moon aboard Apollo 12, November 14-24, 1969, with crewmembers Pete Conrad, Dick Gordon, and Alan Bean. The obverse of the medal features the mission insignia depicting a clipper ship arriving at the moon (it was an all-Navy crew), trailing fire and flying the U.S. flag. There are four stars in the background, one each for the three astronauts who flew the mission and one for Clifton Williams who was killed on October 5, 1967, during a training flight. He had been assigned to the back-up crew for what would be the Apollo 9 mission and would have most likely been assigned as lunar module pilot for Apollo 12. The reverse has a round white label attached and Bean has written the following in blue felt tip: "Apollo 12/ Silver/ No #/ Flown". A rare un-numbered example, likely a problem with the hand-finishing at the factory. The first Robbins medal we have encountered with the provenance handwritten on the medal itself. Excellent. From the estate of Moonwalker and Artist Alan Bean.Auction Info
