On Artifact Cloud, there is this "N fragment". What is this? Is it some kind of film? If so, is it surface flown or command module? Grateful for any info. Thank you. |

Every piece of info needed is in the description: "What is it?" It's a 1cm triangle cut of flown film taken from Magazine N used in a Hasselblad. "Is it some kind of film?" Read above. "Is it surface flown or command module?" Read the presentation pictured, it was used in the CM Columbia, so not in a magazine used in the LM, not surface flown. At the end, a neat artifact from a reputable dealer for more than 20 years and much cheaper than most Apollo 11 flown items I know. |

I have a Magazine N film fragment in a lucite from Florian. I believe the N is the code for the film magazine that the fragment came from. |

The information you mention is not in the description in his website. I did not read stuff on card as I presumed it replicated text in the description. I have emailed Florian. |

The information I mention is in the webpage you posted. Every single word except maybe Hasselblad. If you didn't read the "stuff on card" (lol) it's not our fault. We tried to help since you asked the forum instead of writing to the seller. |

Here is text from the Artifact Cloud website. In my opinion, the text below does not answer my questions. About 1 cm triangle swatch of flown film material mounted on a 7x9" rigid foam board certified on the backside.First manned lunar landing in history: Apollo 11 Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon July 20th 1969 in the landing area "Tranquility Base". Buzz Aldrin followed him a bit later while Mike Collins stayed in orbit "Carrying the fire". Most likely the greatest achievement of mankind in the 20th century. Launched July 16th at Kennedy Space Center the crew made history when they safely returned to Earth July 24th and were picked up by the USS Hornet recovery ship. This presentation bears a piece of flown magazine "N" material and comes with a copy of the original COA. This edition is limited to 50 presentations only. There is nothing about command module, and while it says magazine, unless one is a photographer with traditional cameras, it's not fully clear that magazine refers to photography. That is why I asked.Now I did make the mistake of not reading the card. But online, many websites describe more in their text, rather than on product itself. If I was the webmaster, I would add whatever is on card to the descriptive text. This is no criticism of the service Florian provides. Thanks to him, people like me, with a very limited budget, can hope to acquire a bit of space history. My number one desire would be to have a piece of Beta cloth with moon dust. But it is probably beyond my budget. I might go for the Apollo 16 ring and encase it into a wristwatch. Let's see. |
