An impressive collection of moon-related material from the Apollo missions, including (1) a Beta cloth swatch, measuring 1.25'' x 0.75'', from Apollo 15 astronaut Dave Scott's stowage bag flown to the Moon and back, during the 1971 mission. Visible on the cloth are traces of dust from the Hadley-Apennine region of the Moon, near the Apennine Mountains. (2) a portable 1.5'' life support system cord flown aboard Apollo 15, certified by Dave Scott as used by him on the lunar surface during the Apollo 15 mission. Cut from his EVA spacesuit and bearing lunar dust stains, this cable was used by Scott during his rides on the lunar rover as well as his walks on the Moon. (3) a 1.25'' x 1'' portion of Kapton foil, attached to the outside of the Apollo 11 Command Module ''Columbia'' during its 16-24 July 1969 lunar landing mission. (4) two lunar meteorite fragments, weighing 662 mg., certified by The Hupe Collection in Renton, Washington, as ''Feldspathic Impact-Melt-Breccia'' found in Egypt in April of 2002. (5) strands of Neil Armstrong's hair cut by his barber, Marx Sizemore, in Lebanon, Ohio, on 28 April 2004. An amazing collection of astronautical artifacts, accompanied by impeccable provenance from astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Dave Scott, the North American Rockwell Apollo Launch Team, barber Marx Sizemore, The Hupe Collection, and The Spaceflori Corporation. Items are matted with two NASA color photographs: a 7'' x 5.5'' photo of an astronaut climbing the ladder to the Lunar Module, and a 10.5'' x 8'' photo of Lunar Module pilot Jim Irwin in military salute, next to a U.S. flag during the Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Hadley-Apennine landing site. Items are framed to an overall size of 23'' x 14.5''. Fine condition.
