Description
Ex. Alan Bean
Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-1) Flown Silver
Robbins Medallion, Serial Number 45F, Directly from the Family
Collection of Astronaut Alan Bean, with Certificate of
Authenticity. This 39mm diameter sterling silver medal was one
of only 111 flown (of 359 minted) aboard Columbia, the first
manned, reusable spacecraft, on the first orbital test flight of
the Space Shuttle. The obverse features the mission insignia, the
shuttle, and its orbit around the Earth with the ship's name
"Columbia" and the surnames of the crew. The reverse includes the
names of the crewmembers, "John W. Young" and "Robert L. Crippen",
and the engraved dates, "April 12, 1981" and "April 14, 1981 / RW23
Edwards AFB". The serial number is on the rim along with the
sterling and Robbins hallmarks. This was a very important and
high-risk "shakedown" cruise for the shuttle program. The original
Robbins plastic case with numbered sticker on the bottom is
included. Beautiful.Included with this lot is a COA on Alan Bean's letterhead signed by daughter and Estate Executor Amy Sue Bean stating that this medal flew on the mission and was given to her by Alan Bean prior to his death.
