Very Scarce Collection of Four Jack Swigert Flown Apollo 13 Space Suit Patches
Exceptionally rare collection of Jack Swigert’s Apollo 13 flown spacesuit beta cloth patches. The crew endured incredible circumstances after launching 11 April 1970, when two days later, they were forced into an emergency turn-around before ever reaching the moon. Fortunately the astronauts expertly improvised a repair to the spacecraft and narrowly escaped disaster, ultimately returning safely to Earth. Beta cloth patches were designed from a material made of fireproof material woven from Teflon fibers. NASA spacesuits each featured four beta cloth patches, including a name tag, the NASA logo, mission insignia, and an American flag. All four of Swigert’s patches are intact and housed in sheaths of plastic for protection in the following order: the first depicts his last name, measuring 5” x 2”, the second depicts the traditional NASA logo, measuring 5” x 4.25”, the third, the Apollo 13 mission insignia including the name of the mission, three of Apollo’s chariot horses flying toward the Moon, and the slogan ”Ex Luna, Scientia” (”from the moon, knowledge”), measuring 4” x 4”, and the fourth, an American flag measuring 7.25” x 5.25”. Patches have some toning, particularly to edges, and a fold running vertically through American flag, though each could be removed from plastic and nicely framed. With an LOA from Swigert’s sister. Sold for $27,500.

The Apollo 15 Hand Controller From Al Worden
As Al Worden, the Apollo 15 Command Module Pilot, puts it in the signed COA included with this hand controller, which is mounted on wood: “…this control stick cover, NASA serial number MSC 991-0001.12, was the hand controller I used during the flight of Apollo 15. The function of the hand controller was to adjust the attitude of the spacecraft during flight. For instance it was critical to the maneuver designed to withdraw the Lunar Module from the S-IVB stage of the launch vehicle once leaving earth orbit. This maneuver involved 180 degree rotation of the Command and Service Module to align with the Lunar Module in storage. It was also essential for the alignment of the spacecraft in the proper direction for any thrusting maneuver. This controller was essential to the success of Apollo 15 and has been in my possession since the flight.” In near fine condition. Sold for $72,556.
Jack Swigert’s Personally Owned & Exceptionally Rare Apollo 15 Flown Robbins Medal — One of Just 127 Flown — From The Swigert Estate
Apollo 15 Robbins Medal, serial number 118. Extraordinarily rare medal is one of just 127 flown from a batch of 304 minted. Due to a misprint of the word “apennines” on reverse side, most (177) of the medals were sent back to the manufacturer and could not be redone before the spacecraft’s launch, leaving only the 127 with the correctly printed word to make the flight. Medal features mission insignia of a trio of left-facing flight symbols upon a stylized lunar surface ground. The astronauts’ surnames are inscribed to the border underneath and “Apollo 15” is inscribed at top center. Reverse features a motto, “‘Man’s Flight Through Life Is Sustained By The Power Of Knowledge'”, surrounding “Apollo 15 / Falcon / Endeavor” with dates engraved to fields under each. The name of the mission’s landing site on the moon “Hadley / Appennines” appears beside the middle item. At upper left is a winged propellor symbol. The rim is engraved “Sterling” and with the serial number. Measures nearly 1.5″ in diameter and weighs 20 grams or 0.75 ounces. Scratching to center symbol, else fine. With an LOA from the Swigert estate. Sold for $12,600.
Sold for $7,496.
