Lot 491		Apollo 15, 1971, 3-D "Landing Site" Lunar Topographical Map (30x37") This massive 3-D plastic map is an exact 1:12,500 scale reproduction of the Apollo 15 landing site at Hadley Rille.

Extensive faults and quite fragile, but an important piece of memorabilia. This is only the second or third time we have ever seen one of these maps. NOTE: This piece will require special UPS packing and shipping due size and fragility (weight is negligible).

Lot 500		Apollo 17, 1972, Flown Flag (4x6") mounted on an unusual Goddard Space Flight Center presentation certificate that reads, in part: "This flag was carried to the Moon aboard the spacecraft America Apollo XVII, December 7-19, 1972".

Lot 501		Apollo 17, FLOWN Lunar Surface US Flag (4x6") in unmounted condition.

The letter is signed by Gene Cernan and Ron Evans. There has been question raised in the past as to the legitimacy of flags distributed with this letter as only one presentation letter has shown up previously. This letter, addressed to a second NASA employee, should dispel any questions that collectors may have about this piece. Elsewhere in this sale, we have an Apollo 14 Flown beta cloth helmet bag distributed with a similar type letter. This seems to imply that, although rare, similar distribution of flown artifacts by the crews happened and are completely legitimate.

With Best Wishes / Gene Cernan". The photograph has faded over the last 35 years (as is usual) and the mat shows some staining at the bottom, but the piece is a heartfelt momento of the time and a great addition to any collection. Give it a good home as was originally intended. Estimated Value $350 - 500 View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
