Description

[APOLLO 11]

FLOWN silk stars and stripes United States flag. 6 x 4 inches. Stamped by BUZZ ALDRIN on white stripe: "FLOWN TO THE MOON ON APOLLO XI." SIGNED BY BUZZ ALDRIN in black pen on white stripe.

With a Typed Provenance Letter Signed from BUZZ ALDRIN.

Directly from the Personal Collection of Apollo 11 Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin

BUZZ ALDRIN'S provenance letter reads: "This letter certifies that this Apollo 11 United States Flag was flown to the Moon aboard the command module Columbia.

In July of 1969, I landed on the Moon as part of the Apollo 11 crew. To help commemorate this historical milestone, I chose to personally carry this 4 by 6 inch American flag with me in my Personal Preference Kit (PPK). This flag symbolizes our great nation and, as such, I proudly carried it with me to the Moon.

I have stamped this flag in black ink with the phrase 'Flown to the Moon on Apollo XI' and additionally signed it."
