Description
Ex. Charlie Duke
Apollo 16 Command Module Flown "Senator Duke" Tag, Directly from
the Personal Collection of Pilot Charlie Duke. A 2" x 0.5" tag,
silver on black, attached to a signed Letter of Authenticity from
Duke that tells the entire story: "This is to certify that this
small tag labeled SENATOR DUKE accompanied me to the moon aboard
the Command Module 'Casper' on Apollo 16, the fifth lunar landing
mission. Apollo 16 lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in
April 16, 1972. This label was affixed to my seat on the right side
of the Command Module. I noticed it as I was climbing into the
Command Module before liftoff. It had been placed there by the back
up crew to remind me of some of our friendly political discussions
while in training. Before reentry, I managed to recover this label
and since that time it has remained as a treasured part of my
personal space collection. Display this label with pride as a
remembrance of the Apollo Program where man first ventured beyond
Earth's orbit." Very unique flown artifact. Included with this lot
is a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Charlie Duke. Excellent.
