LARGE FLAG CARRIED TO THE LUNAR SURFACE ON APOLLO 12.

Flown United States flag, silk, 8 x 11½ inches. Mounted on a 20 x16 inch mat board with a 4 inch diameter Apollo 12 crew emblem. Accompanied by RICHARD GORDON'S signed provenance letter which reads in part: "This American flag flew with Conrad, Gordon, and Bean aboard Apollo XII – Yankee Clipper making the final descent to the Lunar Surface, Ocean of Storms, aboard Intrepid November 14 – 24,1969. It is from my personal collection." Flags of this size taken to the lunar surface are exceeding rare due to Lunar Module size and weight constrains.
