These pins were intended to look like the lunar contact light on the LM instrument panel. It is mentioned that Grumman had 4000 of these made up. Have any of you seen any of these pins? Do you have one? these sound cool. I was curious how many were still out there, what they may go for these days and where I could get one. Thanks. Regards, Mike
