Description
Ex. Wally Schirra
Apollo-era Rare LEM "Cold Flow Test Site" Embroidered Patch,
Originally from the Collection of Wally Schirra, in Framed
Display. A framed display featuring an original 4" embroidered
Apollo-era LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) "Cold Flow Test Site" patch
accompanied by related correspondence presented to astronaut
Captain Walter M. "Wally" Schirra, Jr. The typed letter signed
(TLS), dated December 8, 1965, from Frank Jeans, Retired USN
Electrical Technician, explains the design of the patch and its use
among Grumman personnel working on the propulsion systems of the
LEM. Jeans notes his wish for Schirra to wear the patch during his
upcoming trip to Cape Kennedy. Also included is the original
mailing envelope, addressed to Schirra at NASA's Cape Kennedy
office. Both letter and envelope are attractively mounted above and
below the patch, with a presentation plate at bottom reading: "From
the estate of astronaut Captain Walter (Wally) Schirra." Framed to
an overall 15.25" x 24.25". Very fine.
