Alan Bean’s flown sterling silver Skylab 3 (SLM-2) Robbins medal, approximately 1.5″ diameter, with a raised mission insignia design on the face, and the reverse featuring the Skylab space station and engraved launch and landing dates, July 28, 1973 and September 25, 1973. Serial numbered “008F” on the edge. Condition is mint state. Accompanied by its original matching case, and by a handwritten letter of authenticity signed by Bean, who states that the “silver medal, serial number 008, was flown with me aboard Skylab during the SL-3 mission…It has been part of my personal collection of space mementoes since.” A superb flown artifact that was carried into geocentric orbit by the mission commander on his second and final space flight.
