Flown sterling silver Apollo 10 Robbins medallion, measuring approximately 1.25˝ x 1.25˝, featuring a raised design of the shield-shaped mission insignia on the face—a Roman numeral "X" towering over the lunar surface, with the CM and LM on orbit, with the crew's surnames in the border: "Stafford, Young, Cernan." The reverse is engraved with the mission dates, "May 18–26, 1969," and serial number, "24." Stamped below with the Robbins "Sterling" hallmark.
Accompanied by its original case and a letter of authenticity signed by Swigert's sister, Virginia, who certifies that "this Apollo 10 Flown Robbins Medal, Serial Number 24 is from Jack Swigert's personal collection."
One of 300 Robbins medallions flown into lunar orbit on Apollo 10, this has the unique distinction of being part of a Guinness World Record—on its return from the moon, Apollo 10 set the record for the highest speed attained by a manned vehicle: 24,791 mph (39,897 km/h) or Mach 36!
The Richard Jurek Collection.
