Apollo 12, 1969, FLOWN Lunar Surface United States Fl
Apollo 12, 1969, FLOWN "Lunar Surface" United States Flag (17x12") This large United States flag is mounted on a presentation board (20x16") that is crew-signed at the bottom (Charles Conrad, Dick Gordon, Alan Bean). The descriptive plaque reads: "Sailed with Yankee Clipper/ and Intrepid to the Ocean of Storms / November 1969". Lunar surface items, from any flight, are considered tops among space memorabilia collectibles. A multicolor Richard Gordon, hand-signed and typed certificate of authenticity is included that reads, in part: "This American flag flew with Conrad, Gordon and Bean aboard Apollo XII - Yankee Clipper making the final descent to the Lunar Surface, Ocean of Storms, aboard Intrepid November 14-24, 1969. It is from my personal collection". By far, fewer of these large, rather than the usual, smaller, 6x9" size flags were flown on any lunar flight. An important addition to any collection.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 10,000.
