Apollo 15 Insurance Cover from the Personal Collection of Moonwalker Jim Irwin with Handwritten Confirmation of Authenticity by Irwin on Verso. The only insurance covers that the crew of Apollo 15 used were those provided by the NASA Manned Spacecraft Stamp Club. These MSCSC covers were signed by the crew prior to the flight, had stamps applied, canceled and held by the families during the flight. After Apollo 15 had safely returned, the insurance covers had served their original purpose. They have now become treasured and valuable collectibles most especially if they have been confirmed by one of the crew. This cover is from Lunar Module Pilot, Jim Irwin's personal collection which he has confirmed in his own handwriting and signed on verso. Dave Scott and Jim Irwin were the 7th and 8th Moonwalkers respectively. Dave Scott is still going strong at 88 years old, Al Worden passed this year in March, with Jim Irwin the first and youngest Apollo Astronauts to die, from a series of heart attacks in 1991. Cover and signatures are in superior condition. Rare and very collectible. Estimated Value $1,500 - UP
