It is clearly an 'original' due to its colouring and general state. But does anyone know how to identify whether it was actually flown to the moon, or just used by NASA on the ground?

I've looked through the CM/LM stowage list for Apollo 10 (bottom of page 5, 'CHAFT,TARGET CF OPP') and the SKB number on the chart does align with that listed. According to this list, there were two aboard.

There are no identifiable markings or annotations on the map.

The chart does state that it is an 'Edition 1', 29 April, 1969, but again, I don't know whether that means if it was flown or not.

Did they make many of these charts, and how do you know whether they were flown or used on the ground?

Any advice would be much appreciated!
