Description

Flown sterling silver Apollo 9 Robbins medallion, approximately 1˝ in diameter, with a raised design of the mission insignia on the face—the orbiting CM and LM with Saturn V launch vehicle, and mission number "IX" at center. The reverse is engraved with the mission dates, "March 3–13, 1969," and encircled by the surnames of the astronauts in raised text: "McDivitt, Scott, Schweickart." The medal is serial numbered "297" and stamped below with the Robbins "Sterling" hallmark. Condition is mint state, with moderate overall tarnishing. Includes its original matching case, with typical deteriorating foam.

From the William E. Thornton Collection.
