Since its inception in 1904, the Club has served as a meeting point and unifying force for explorers and scientists worldwide." (www.explorers.org). Though this flag is not known to have flown, Explorers Club flags have quite a history, going along on hundreds of important expeditions since 1918, including several Apollo missions to the moon. Aldrin was a 1971 recipient of The Explorers Club Medal and the club presents the Buzz Aldrin Space Exploration Award "to individuals noted for accomplishments in exploration of outer space that best typify the spirit of explorer Buzz Aldrin." Excellent.A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany this lot.
