Buzz Aldrin Signed Apollo XI Lunar Plaque Replica

The oblong brass plate is mounted on a beveled mahogany finished wooden plaque. The inscription ""Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the moon July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind"" appears below a depiction of the two halves of the earth in frieze at top.

American astronauts first stepped onto the moon's gray and granular surface on July 21, 1969. While on the moon, the astronauts took photographs, placed a TV camera, collected geological samples, set up seismic and laser experiments, and even received a celebratory phone call from President Nixon. They planted an American flag on the surface, and also left behind the original plaque; it was slightly smaller, made of stainless steel, and attached to the ladder of the lunar module landing gear strut.
