Exceptional Apollo 12 display containing two lunar-flown items: a fabric American flag, 6 x 4, signed and flight-certified in black ink, “Flown to the Moon, Apollo XII, Nov. 69, Alan L. Bean,” and a printed UN Space Treaty entitled “Treaty of the Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, Including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies,” 5.5 x 3.25, signed and flight-certified in black ink, “Flown to the Moon, Alan L. Bean, Apollo XII, Nov '69.” Also included is an embroidered Apollo XII mission patch affixed to a 7 x 5 mount, which is signed in black felt tip by the full Apollo 12 crew: “Charles Conrad, Jr.,” “Dick Gordon,” and “Alan L. Bean.” All are matted and framed together with a small plaque to an overall size of 20.5 x 16.25. In overall fine condition, with the Bean signature on the flag a shade or two light, and light stains to the flag corners from adhesive on the back.
Accompanied by a notarized letter of authenticity, which is signed and flight-certified by Alan Bean: “This letter certifies that the American Flag and the copy of the Space Treaty flew with me to the moon on November 19, 1969. My signature appears on the lower right-hand corner of the American Flag and the copy of the Space Treaty. The names of all three Astronauts who flew the mission are attached and are their true signatures.” A stellar union of flown artifacts from the historic second moon landing, with rock-solid provenance from the Apollo 12 LMP.
