Lot 407
Apollo 11, Beta Cloth Crew Patch. An interesting lot that includes a Beta cloth crew patch (6x6") along with three similar United States flags (about 2x1.5"), an Apollo 11 Mission Report (NASA, 217pp., soft cover, extensive water damage to the front cover, interior wrinkled but fine). ALSO included is a July 30, 1973 typed letter on NASA letterhead to Deke Slayton from Christopher Kraft, JSC, Director saying, in part, "On the Apollo 11 mission a special die was flown for later use in fabricating a commemorative medallion to be distributed to those individuals who made significant contributions to the success of the Apollo Program. A limited number of stainless steel medallions …was made. Please accept the enclosed medallion…". A great letter with minor faults, but unfortunately, without the medallion which has been seperatedfrom it through time. A nice lot.
Estimated Value $350 - 500.
E. the Donald "Deke" Slayton Estate collection.
