Neil Armstrong's admirers and space exploration have a chance to possess artifacts and memorabilia that belonged to the modest man who became a world hero by becoming the first human to walk on the moon.
The personal collection of Armstrong, who died in his native Ohio in 2012, will go on sale at a series of auctions held by Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Nov. 1-2, and will continuing in May and November 2019.
The collection includes a variety of artifacts from the 1969 lunar landing and private memories of Armstrong that include pieces of a wing and a propeller of the 1903 Wright Brothers Flyer that the astronaut took with him to the moon.
Other items that went to the moon with Armstrong include an American flag, the largest size generally used during Apollo missions; a United Nations flag; various flags of state; and some medallions of Robbins. Sterling silver medallions were paid for by Apollo Missions crews and were available for purchase only by NASA astronauts. The Armstrong collection also includes a rare gold medallion.
