6x4 inch US Flag Flown on Apollo 10, the final dress rehearsal mission before the first manned moon landing, which tested all the vital Lunar Module and Command Module maneuvers in Lunar Orbit. US Flags are the most sought after Lunar Flown Flags, and this one has been hand inscribed by Apollo 10 Astronaut Gene Cernan as, "Flown To The Moon On Apollo 10 - Gene Cernan LMP". It also comes with a photograph of Cernan holding the presentation.


This 10.5" x 8" inch Lunar Map, from Apollo 17 Commander Gene Cernan's personal collection was used during the Apollo 17 Mission to help the Astronauts observe features on the Moon's Surface from Lunar Orbit. It has been printed on a glossy plastic type paper and has a Certification label attached to it which reads, "The Crew used this Apollo 17 CSM Lunar Landmark Map to study the Moon from Lunar Orbit - Gene Cernan - Eugene A. Cernan Apollo 17 Commander"


This Plastic Bag was used to house Beta Cloth Patches and was flown to lunar orbit on the Apollo 14 mission. The bag has been signed and certified on the front by Ed Mitchell. The front also has the official NASA inspection white room stamp and there are remnants of the flown beta cloths patches inside.
