Flown printed fabric Kansas flag carried on board Apollo 16, 5.75 x 4, signed and flight-certified in silver ink, “I certify that this flag was flown to the lunar surface aboard the Lunar Module Orion, Charlie Duke, Apollo 16.” Flag is affixed to a printed 8.25 x 10.25 certificate featuring the mission insignia and caption, “This flag was flown aboard the first Apollo mission to the Lunar Highlands,” signed at the bottom in black felt tip by Duke. Presented with a handwritten souvenir manuscript entitled “Reflections of a Lunar Voyager," one page, personal Apollo 16 letterhead, 8.25 x 10.25, April 1999, signed at the conclusion in blue felt tip, "Charles M. Duke, Jr., Apollo 16 Moonwalker.” In part: "In April, 1972, my life changed forever as I found myself riding a Saturn V rocket into the heavens aboard Apollo 16, mankind's fifth successful lunar landing mission. On April 20th, John Young and I landed our lunar module 'Orion' on the moon's dusty soil. Several hours later, I emerged to become only the 10th human being in history to ever stand on another world!” Both pieces are attractively cloth-matted and framed together to an overall size of 25.5 x 18. In overall fine condition. An exquisite display with two immensely desirable pieces—a full page written in the moonwalker’s own hand and a flag that was actually carried to the lunar surface.
