Flown Medallion, 1 inch in diameter, sterling silver. Carried on the Gemini 6 flight by Commander Wally Schirra.

Accompanied by a Typed Letter Signed by Wally Schirra, in which he discusses the problems with the Agena and the successful rendezvous with Gemini 7, and explains: "We were able to update our space suit cloth patch design showing another Gemini spacecraft instead of the Agena. But there was not enough time to create new medallions before the flight, so we carried the original set made."
