Description
One of the More Scarce Flown Apollo 11 artifacts.
Apollo 11 Flown and Crew-Signed Beta Cloth Mission Insignia
Directly from the Personal Collection of Michael Collins, CAG
Certified. A 6" x 6" swatch of Beta cloth with a 3.375"
diameter mission insignia depicting an eagle carrying an olive
branch to the moon with the Earth in the distance, designed by
Michael Collins. This was flown aboard the Apollo 11 mission to the
moon and later signed beautifully in black felt tip: "Neil
Armstrong", "Carried to the moon aboard Apollo XI/ July
1969/ Michael Collins", and "Buzz Aldrin". Beta cloth is
made from fire-safe Fiberglass Beta yarns, originated and developed
by Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation. It was used in the space
suits worn by the Apollo astronauts. A very desirable lunar-flown
and crew-signed relic from this historic mission, the ultimate item
for display. Sealed in a numbered archival sleeve, CAG 3000014-001.
Excellent.
