Flown Hasselblad protective cover, 3.5 x 3.5, used by David Scott on the surface of the moon when he changed film packs during the extended scientific exploration of the Moon conducted on the Apollo 15 Mission. Cover bears the following identification information: "Remove only for required photography, P/N SEB 33100046-301, S/N 1026, Hasselblad, Protective Cover," with a small swatch of Velcro affixed to the lower left corner. The iconic Hasselblad 500 series cameras became the industry standard for commercial and portrait photographers following the Apollo lunar program. It remains one of the premier brands, like Omega watches, that successfully capitalized on their association with Apollo to achieve iconic status. As such, most of the Apollo flown Hasselblad cameras are in museums or with the Smithsonian. Owning a flown piece of a Hasselblad is an exceedingly rare opportunity, and such artifacts are highly prized by both space and photography collectors alike. Provenance: Dave Scott; Aurora, April 2007.
