Oval patch, 4 inches in diameter, mounted in silver frame, 10-3/4 x 22-1/4 inches, with two engraved plaques. Embroidered with "Apollo 14" and the last names of the astronauts "Shepard Roosa Mitchell" surrounding image of the earth, moon, and decorative path of the space shuttle. Provenance: Accompanied by signed affidavit from Gene Cernan from the patch's previous sale at Novaspace Galleries. FLOWN APOLLO 14 PATCH FROM THE PERSONAL COLLECTION OF EUGENE ANDREW CERNAN. "This patch was flown to the Moon aboard the Command Service Module "Kitty Hawk" during the mission of Apollo 14, 31 Jan 1971-9 Feb 1971". Apollo 14 was the third manned mission to land on the lunar surface with the goal of exploring the Fra Mauro region. Astronaut Eugene Andrew Cernan, Commander of Apollo 17, was the last man to walk on the lunar surface. He would have received this patch at the "pin party" held after the Apollo 17 mission. "The "pin parties" were a rite of passage for Apollo astronauts. After every flight they would have a pin party, men only, no spouses or families, just astronauts (and maybe Deke and a few support personnel) where the crew would get their flown astronaut pins, and they would pass out flown souvenirs that the other astronauts had given them to fly."
