Description
Apollo 11 Flown Largest Size American Flag Signed and Certified by Michael Collins Directly from His Personal Collection with Accompanying Signed Certificate, CAG Certified. A 17.75" x 11.5" silk U.S. flag with red stitching around the edges. This incredibly rare and desirable flag, the largest size typically flown by Apollo missions, traveled to the moon with Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing, July 16-24, 1969, and was kept as a treasured souvenir by Command Module Pilot Michael Collins. Flags of this size are very rarely offered at auction, and would be the centerpiece of even the most esteemed collections. It has been signed signed on the lower white stripes in black ink: "Carried to the Moon on Apollo XI, July 1969- /Michael Collins CMP". Flattened folds from storage, bright and fresh as new, sealed in a numbered archival sleeve, CAG 300025-001.Auction Info
