"Flown to the Moon Aboard Apollo 14"

Scarce medium-size American flag carried into lunar orbit on Apollo 14, 11.25˝ x 8˝, signed and flight-certified in black felt tip, "Flown to the Moon Aboard Apollo 14, Edgar Mitchell." In fine condition, with some bleeding to ink. Accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity from Mitchell, who writes that this "flag of the United States of America was carried in my personal preference kit (PPK) aboard Kittyhawk from January 31, 1971 to February 9, 1971 during the Apollo 14 mission. The flag bears my signature and has been in my personal collection since the mission." An uncommon and desirable mid-size flown flag, direct from the archives of an Apollo moonwalker.
