| This contractor model of the Grumman Lunar
Module belonged to Apollo 16
moonwalker, Brigadier General Charles Duke. This model was
presented to General Duke after the Apollo 16 mission. The base
of the model has been signed and inscribed by General Duke with "From my collection - Charlie Duke - Apollo
