Ex. Michael Collins

Apollo 11 Flown American Flag with Presentation Certificate Originally from the Personal Collection of Mission Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, Certified and Signed. A 5.75" x 4" silk U.S. flag with a 10" x 12" 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. Beneath that is 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." Collins has signed the flag on the fourth and fifth white stripes: "Carried to the Moon on Apollo XI/ July 1969 - Michael Collins CMP". This flag accompanied Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins on their epic journey to the Moon and back, making it an extremely desirable American flag personally certified by a member of the Apollo 11 crew. While Apollo 11-flown flags are among the most coveted of all spaceflight relics, examples that are signed, inscribed, and directly from a crew member's personal collection are even more so. This particular flag was retained by Collins as part of his personal mementos from the mission, later released with his signed provenance. Flag pristine and unfaded; certificate bright and exceptionally well-preserved, with only minor corner and edge wear typical of age, very fine.
