Description
Ex. James McDivitt
Apollo 9 Flown Embroidered Mission Insignia Patch Originally
from the Personal Collection of Mission Commander James McDivitt,
Signed and Certified, with His Signed Certificate of
Authenticity. This 3.5" diameter patch is signed on the verso
in green felt tip: "Flown Aboard Apollo 9/ Jim McDivitt". It
depicts a Saturn V rocket orbited by a lunar module and a
command/service module trailing fire against a blue background. The
crew surnames are around at top and the mission name at bottom,
inside a red border. Apollo 9, March 3-13, 1969, was the first
space test of the complete Apollo spacecraft that included the
third piece of Apollo hardware, the lunar module. Its three-man
crew consisted of Commander James McDivitt, Command Module Pilot
David Scott, and Lunar Module Pilot Rusty Schweickart. The signed
COA from Jim McDivitt reads, in full: "This 3.375" embroidered
Apollo 9 mission patch, with the red center of the 'D' in my name
signifying my position as mission commander, was flown aboard
Apollo 9 in Earth orbit, 3-13 March 1969, and is from my personal
collection. I have signed and endorsed the back with 'Flown Aboard
Apollo 9' in green." Excellent.
