Description
APOLLO 11
Impossibly rare large flag flown on the first manned lunar landing mission
Apollo 11 Flown Large Size American Flag on a Crew-Signed
Presentation Certificate, Framed. An approximately 8" x 12"
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." Because of its
large size, the flag has been folded into fourths for mounting on
the certificate (not examined out of frame). We have never
encountered a flag of this size from this historic mission. 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. Don't miss out. Extremely fine.
