DESCRIPTION
Rare, vintage set of lucites each containing flown heatshield and kapton foil from each respective Apollo mission, from 7 through to 17. It is incredibly rare to find a complete set with the original display stand, as many such lucites are only found individually, making a complete set hard to come by. These pieces are made rarer by the fact that contained within is not one but two different segments of flown material, something not often found in more recent lucite presentations. Each individual lucite measures 1.75". The entire set measures 10.5" x 9.25".
Authenticity Information:

Condition Report:
