I have a "First Footprints" NASA lapel pin, but I cannot remember where I got mine. The one I have is blank on the back. Were there any of these pins made that did not contain metal flown to the moon? |

The original run (available singly) and the ones with the original anniversary pin sets were blank on the reverse and did not contain flown metal. |

Thank you for your reply. I thought they didn't but was hoping I was wrong. |

Just so it's clear, what does the back of the pin say if it does include flown metal? |

I have one of these pins with the following on the back: First Footprints

I'm a new collector and have just got my hands on one of these with the full "First Footprints" markings.Excuse my ignorance but is there any significance to the 20,120? |

I have noticed that Winco (maker of the item) likes to incorporate the date into how many are issued. They have done this on numerous other items (if not all). |
