APOLLO 15 FLAG FLOWN TO THE MOON An superb and increasingly rare item an American flag flown to the moon with rock-solid provenance. The 6"" x 4"" flag is affixed to a 9 1/2"" x 11 1/2"" partly-printed sheet reading in part: ""This flag was flown aboard the first extended scientific exploration of the Moon APOLLO 15 July 26 - August 7 1971"". Beneath their respective printed names the sheet has been authentically signed by astronauts DAVE SCOTT AL WORDEN and JIM IRWIN. An Apollo 15 crew patch at bottom completes the display. This display is matted with an A.L.S. by JIM IRWIN on NASA Manned Spacecraft letterhead 1p. 4to. Houston Aug. 14 1971 to a lady. A week after the flight Irwin writes in part: ""...Hope you enjoyed the show! I had the pleasure of carrying your flag to the moon and back. This will authenticate that the enclosed flag flew to the moon aboard Apollo 15..."". The bottom of the letter has been adorned with a magazine image of the lift-off of a Saturn V rocket - it may or may not be affixed to Irwin's letter. Both the display and the Irwin letter are matted and set into a period frame. As Irwin walked on the surface of the moon this flag may very well have accompanied him there aboard the LEM as well.
