Gemini GT 11 Flown Fliteline Medallion

Badge-shaped medallion (1.2" long) in its original plastic case. The obverse bears an image of the Gemini XI space craft docked with an Agena, and Gordon on a space walk. The reverse side of the medallion is engraved "Gemini XI, Sept 12-15, 1966". The gold-plated medallions are the rarest of all the Flown medallions as the crew members carried them only for their wife or daughters. They are seldom available as most astronaut wives keep them as cherished family heirlooms. Very good condition. A similar lot sold at a prior auction for $9,000. COA included. Ex: the personal collection of astronaut Dick Gordon.
