Extremely rare and exceptionally desirable flown printed flag of the United Nations carried on board Apollo 11, 6 x 4, signed and flight-certified in black felt tip, “Carried to the moon aboard Apollo XI, Michael Collins.” Flag is affixed to a printed 10 x 12 certificate featuring the Apollo 11 mission insignia and caption, “This flag traveled to the moon with Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing, July 20, 1969.” In fine condition, with some spreading to ink. The symbolism of the flag of the United Nations makes this an especially remarkable piece, considering the text of the plaque left on the lunar surface by the Apollo 11 astronauts: ‘Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July 1969, A. D. We came in peace for all mankind.’
