Apollo 13 flown Robbins medal from the personal collection of Skylab III pilot Ed Gibson. As the Apollo 13 mission encountered a wide array of problems after being launched, though returning home safely, the original flown medallions were melted down and a new redesigned set was made from them. This is one of the 404 newly-designed medals. Medal obverse depicts various mission insignia, including the name of the mission, three of Apollo's chariot horses flying toward the Moon, and the slogan ''Ex Luna, Scientia'' (''from the moon, knowledge''). Reverse lists the crew members, space modules, and engraved dates of launch and return, as well as the serial number and the sterling and Robbins hallmarks. Measures 1.25''. Made of sterling silver, housed in its original ''Robbins Company'' box with an ''184'' sticker on the bottom. From the personal collection of astronaut Ed Gibson, with his signed LOA. Fine condition.
