Lunar Module ID plates are some of the most treasured items in Space collectibles. To date only one Apollo 17 Lunar Module plate has been offered at auction. This example was acquired from the collection of Apollo lunar module test engineer Scott MacLeod. Macleod was part of a group of "lunar module consultant pilots" employed by Grumman after the aerospace company won the competition to develop the Lunar Module. Outstanding opportunity to own a lunar module flown relic from one of the most popular missions in the Apollo program. Very fine.
