Just received the invitation for a new project to be realized by Puntzi on Kickstarter:
Each space mission from Gemini through Apollo contained a small medical supply kit that was updated and changed for the future missions based on what was learned. Many of these included bandages, medication for motion sickness, decongestants and sleeping pills were added on Apollo 7. Because of these changes there was no standard kit, so we used the available information on Apollo 11 and made our own Earth bound modifications.

Although it is a nice item there are huge differences of the replica as it can be seen here (Mike Jetzer/heroicrelics.org). As the original has a double seam and a cover lit, the replica has a zipper. Also the inside is totally different.


If Puntzi, now with more experience would do a more identical replica I would be in, but currently it's just a look-a-like bag.

I would concur with Chris's review. This project has little merit in my opinion.
