Description
Apollo 11 Flown American Flag on a Crew-Signed Presentation Certificate, Framed. An approximately 6" x 4" silk U.S. flag mounted to a 9.5" x 11.5" (sight size) color certificate printed with the words: "This Flag Traveled to the Moon with Apollo 11, the First Manned Lunar Landing, July 20, 1969/ APOLLO 11/ July 16-24, 1969/ Armstrong - Collins - Aldrin". Printed on the lower area is the Apollo 11 mission insignia above the crew's signatures: "Neil Armstrong", "M Collins", and "Buzz Aldrin". At the very bottom are printed the immortal words Armstrong spoke as he stepped onto the moon's surface: "One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." It was presented to a close and longtime associate of Neil Armstrong's and is in its original mat and frame of an overall size of 14.5" x 16.5". The flag is bright, the certificate is clean, and the signatures are bold with no inscriptions. A virtually unimprovable display example of a flag flown on Apollo 11 and a most important relic. This would be a centerpiece for any private or institutional collection. Extremely fine.Auction Info
