Apollo 12 Lunar Module Flown Red Keystone Wax Marker Pen,

Apollo flight. Signs of wear. Very good. From the estate of
Moonwalker and Artist Alan Bean.Included in this lot is Alan Bean's handwritten and signed Letter of Authenticity on his personal letterhead. It reads, in full: "I hereby certify that the accompanying black plastic red marker US Government pen travelled with me inside the command module, Yankee Clipper, to and from the moon. I wore it in my right arm pocket when I transferred to our lunar module, Intrepid. I used it there, inside the lunar module, for the 33 hours we spent on the Moon, and on liftoff and rendezvous with our orbiting command module. [signed] Alan Bean Apollo 12 LMP "
