Description
Ex. Dave Scott
Apollo 15 Flown Silver Robbins Medallion, Serial Number 90,
Originally from the Personal Collection of Mission Commander Dave
Scott, with Signed Letter of Authenticity. This 35mm sterling
silver medal is one of only 127 flown to the moon aboard Apollo 15,
July 26 - August 7, 1971, with crewmembers Dave Scott, Al Worden,
and Jim Irwin. There were 304 of these originally struck for the
1971 mission but due to capsule weight restrictions, only a portion
were actually flown. Also, there was a spelling error on the
landing site (Appennines instead of Apennines), so after the
flight, the unflown medals were returned to the Robbins Company for
correction. The obverse features the mission insignia depicting
three stylized birds flying above the Hadley Rille area of the moon
with craters spelling out "XV" to the right. The reverse features
the phrase "Man's Flight Through Life Is Sustained By The Power Of
His Knowledge" around, Air Force wings (it was an all-Air Force
crew), and the dates of the mission. The serial number is on the
rim along with the sterling and Robbins hallmarks. An excellent
example signed provenance from the mission commander.Included with the lot is a 2002-dated Provenance Certificate from Aurora stating: "I, David Scott, Commander of the Apollo 15 Mission to the Moon, hereby certify that Sterling Robbins Medallion #90 was purchased by me prior to the flight of Apollo 15 and carried by me in my PPK in the command module Endeavour, which orbited the Moon while the LM Falcon landed on the Moon. It has been in my possession since the flight. [signed] David R. Scott/ 24 April 2002". From the Family Collection of Jacques Bracke.
