"This clamp was flown aboard the historic first lunar landing mission on July 16-24, 1969"—Buzz Aldrin's flown Flight Data File clip from the historic Apollo 11 mission

Buzz Aldrin’s flown 'Flight Data File' clip carried to the moon during the historic Apollo 11 mission, measuring 1.75" x 2.25" x 1", with etched part numbers: "P/N SEB3210094-301, S/N 1053 Assy." The aluminum checklist clip, which has a 1-inch square white Velcro patch on the front, was used to secure equipment such as checklist sheets, flight maps, and any loose articles during Apollo 11’s legendary eight-day mission to the moon and back. In fine condition. Accompanied by a signed and flight-certified letter of authenticity from Buzz Aldrin: “I hereby warrant and certify that the hinged document clamp #SEB 32100094-301 is from my personal collection of Apollo 11 artifacts. This clamp was flown aboard the historic first lunar landing mission on July 16-24, 1969.” Also includes a copy of the first five pages of the Apollo 11 Stowage List (Final Release), which lists Item No. A 0137 as ‘Clip, Flight Data File,’ with matching part number ‘SEB3210094-301,’ which was carried into lunar orbit as part of the CSM Columbia’s stowage inventory.
