This 6" x 4" American flag was carried to the moon onboard Apollo 14 which launched from the Kennedy Space Center on January 31, 1971.

Astronaut certified lunar artifacts are considered the most desirable of all flown items and to that end, Edgar Mitchell will provide a iron clad provenance in the form of a hand signed, personalized certificate of authenticity, detailing the flag's lunar journey.
