NOTICE: It has come to our attention that a seller in the UK is offering low-quality counterfeit versions of our popular Apollo 11 50th Anniversary pins, however, requests for eBay to remove the item have gone unanswered. We invite you to compare both pins closely if you come across the listing. You'll see our handcrafted pins have much more intricate detail in the eagle design and small lettering, and are made of a much higher quality material. Please also check out the fantasti...c feedback we have received from buyers. Thank you!
◢ ITEM DESCRIPTION ◣
Celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing with this high-quality, die-struck, solid brass, commemorative lapel pin with a hand-painted soft enamel design featuring an upgraded lunar surface area handcrafted with authentic moon dust!. It's the perfect gift for any space, aviation, or history enthusiast, and makes a sleek and unusual collector's item.
Our "moon dust" comes from the legendary Lunar Meteorite Northwest Africa 5000. NWA 5000 was discovered in Southern Morocco in 2007 and is the largest and finest lunar highlands specimen ever found. We’ve acquired our supply directly from NWA 5000’s original owner and it is guaranteed to be 100% authentic. Lunar meteorite is considered to be one of the rarest materials in the entire world, far more rare than gold, platinum, or diamond.
Included with your purchase:1 commemorative pin with moon dust (GOLD)1 stainless steel certificate of authenticity card1 display box
Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first two humans on the Moon. Mission commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the lunar module "Eagle" on July 20, 1969. They spent about two and a quarter hours together outside the spacecraft, and collected 47.5 pounds of lunar material to bring back to Earth. They returned to Earth and landed safely in the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1969.
The landing was broadcast on live TV to a worldwide audience. Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface and described the event as "one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Apollo 11 effectively ended the Space Race, and fulfilled a national goal proposed in 1961 by U.S. President John F. Kennedy: "before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth."
