This artifact is an Apollo
10 mission patch that was flew on Apollo 10. It comes from the
artifact collection of Apollo 10 Lunar Module Pilot Eugene Cernan.
The patch was placed up for auction by Novaspace Space Memorabilia
Auction on
January 26, 2008. The description in the auction catalog reads
: "Flown on Apollo 10 rare "Grumman"
(Lion Bros.) Apollo 10 patch, flown aboard Apollo 10. The more
typical AB emblems NASA patch is shown in another picture. The
Grumman patch is much nicer, with better dimensionality to the
art. Tom Stafford's identical flown patch sold at a recent Swann
auction in NYC for almost $10,000! Signed on the back by Cernan
as
Flown. Signed COA, also."
The flown patch was acquired by the Earth To The Moon Air &
Space
Museum from the Novaspace auction.
