Apollo 14 Moon Flown Flag Sold

The Apollo 14 mission included astronauts Alan Shepard, Stuart Roosa and Edgar Mitchell and was the third U.S. mission to land on the moon. The main objectives of the mission were to explore the Fra Mauro Highlands on the near side of the moon, study moon geological samples and to study orbital science. At 47 years old Alan Shepard was the oldest person to fly to the moon and notably played golf on the moon during the mission.

Space and moon flown memorabilia is high demand. We have sold the following Apollo 14 moon flown flags at auction:

Accompanied by signed COA, dated 22 May 2006 which reads, “This is to certify that the accompanying — Apollo 14 Lunar Surface American Flag — was proudly carried by me aboard our Lunar Module ‘Antares’ to the Moon’s surface. This flag then remained stowed within the ‘Antares’, and it’s [sic] one-sixth lunar-gravity environment, as Alan Shepard and I completed our exploration of the Moon’s surface. To uniquely identify this flag for future generations, I have personally inscribed it as having been flown to the lunar surface aboard the ‘Antares’, and then signed it. During the Apollo program, it was NASA’s policy to allow astronauts to keep both personal effects, and disposable equipment from their missions, as personal mementos to do with as they wished. This Lunar Surface Flag has been a valued part of my personal space collection since 1971, when it was presented back to me by NASA upon its release from lunar quarantine.” Signed boldly “Edgar Mitchell”. Nylon flag measures 6.25″ x 4″ with “Flown to the Lunar Surface aboard Antares — Feb 5, 1971 / Edgar Mitchell Apollo 14 LMP” written in blue pen on the white stripes of the flag. Both flag and COA are in fine condition. Owned by Mitchell since the completion of Apollo 14. Sold for $17,500.
