Apollo 13 Flown Instrument Cover & Omega Velcro Watch Strap From Jack Swigert’s Estate
Lot of two items from Jack Swigert’s estate. First item is an Apollo 13 flown instrument cover, measuring 1.75″ in diameter, made of a stainless steel disc with an articulated ring at center. Above and below the ring are codes printed in black that read, ”P/NSEB33100063-301 / S/N1017 ASSY.” A small square of velcro is affixed to verso at center, certainly to secure cover in place in the weightless environment of space. Lot also includes Swigert’s NASA issued Omega velcro watch strap, worn by Swigert over his space suit, and likely space flown. Velcro strap with metal fastener is imprinted with code numbers ”P/N SEB12100030-202 / S/N 1067”. Measures 22” in length. Some dulling and superficial marks to lid and soiling to velcro strap.

Lot of 6 Space Flown Patches From Apollo 13 With a Letter of Provenance in the Hand of Jack Swigert
Lot of 6 official patches flown in space on the near-disastrous Apollo 13 mission in 1970. Round patches are embroidered with mission slogan ”Ex Luna, Scienta”, meaning ”from the moon, knowledge” surrounding dynamic mission insignia: a trio of horses galloping over the moon. Five are identical, with embroidery in orange, yellow, brown, black, white and blue with sparkly silver border. The remaining patch is the same design but crafted in muted earth tones. Accompanied by a handwritten authenticity note in Swigert’s hand on U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science and Technology letterhead. Each patch measures just over 4” in diameter. Fine. With an LOA from Jack Swigert’s estate. Sold for $8,438.
Impressive NASA Prototype Helmet Stowage Bag (HSB) & LEVA Helmet — Accompanied by NASA Spacecraft Parts Tag & Signed Paperwork From NASA Spacesuit Contractor ILC Industries
Prototype helmet stowage bag (HSB) and lunar extravehicular visor assembly (LEVA) commissioned by NASA in 1972 in preparation for Apollo 16. LEVA helmets and HSB cases were used in Apollo missions when the command module pilot embarked on his extravehicular activity. Prototype HSB construction features a dome of white nylon sewn onto a metal base. Base features hardware designed to anchor the HSB to the lunar module cabin floor in a weightless environment. HSB zips on a slight diagonal around its base and features a handle sewn to the top. Inside the case, a matching white nylon bag is built into the center and in the final apparatus would serve as stowage for the EVA gloves. A plastic liner cradles the bottom of the transparent acrylic LEVA. Helmet prototype features a full visor attached with metal hinges. Measures 13.5″ in height not counting the handle, and 14″ in diameter overall. Very minor staining to stowage bag, else near fine. Helmet shows some separation of trim and discoloration to its edges and loosening of hinges, else near fine. Toning and creasing to paper documents, else near fine. A fascinating pair of pieces from space history with provenance including a printed NASA “Spacecraft Parts” tag hand-labeled “Mock up” and a partially-printed document from NASA’s exclusive Apollo spacesuit manufacturer ILC Industries, Inc., dated 18 February 1972 and signed by ILC and NASA personnel. Sold for $7,000.
