Aldrin's Personal Apollo 11 Commem. Medallion
<B>Buzz Aldrin's Personal Apollo 11 Commemorative Medallion Struck by North American Rockwell.</B></I> 62mm. Heavy brass. North American Rockwell had a deep history with the American space program. They were the chief contractor for the Apollo command module, which served throughout the Apollo program and even a few missions beyond. This beautiful medallion commemorates the Apollo 11 mission, when Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins flew to the moon. Collins piloted the North American Rockwell-made command module over the moon as Armstrong and Aldrin walked upon the lunar surface below. The medallion features a USA rocket and the words "Apollo XI Aldrin Armstrong Collins" around the edges on one side. The reverse side shows an anonymous astronaut walking the lunar surface with the lunar module behind him and the command module hovering above. Very fine condition, and a unique piece of history from Buzz Aldrin's personal collection. <I>From the personal collection of Dr. Buzz Aldrin and accompanied by a signed Letter of Authenticity from him.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
