Large heat shield sectional from the first Apollo Command Module to encounter lunar return velocities, resulting in the deep ablation exhibited in this specimen. Camera flash makes very shallow abrasions on the surface of the lucite appear worse then they are when viewing first hand, lucite can be restored to original luster with some light polishing (any good plastic shop can accomplish). The encapsulated segment measures approx 1 x 1.9 x 3.75 inches and includes the stainless substructure $950 shipped within the U.S. Update: Sold. | |
