I have the exact "First Footprints" NASA lapel pin that's shown everywhere. 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
Apollo Program NASA Official Edition It does not, however, include the language about flown metal or limited edition. Is that something different? |

I'm a new collector and have just got my hands on one of these with the full 'First Footprints' markings as per Mike Z's post.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). |
