The personal collection of Neil Armstrong, the first human to walk on the Moon, will be presented in a series of auctions beginning November 1-2, 2018 by Heritage Auctions.

The Armstrong Family Collection features never-before-seen artifacts from his momentous lunar landing to private mementos – including pieces of a wing and propeller from the 1903 Wright Brothers flight that Armstrong took with him to the Moon, a gold pin from Armstrong’s Gemini VIII mission, and historic correspondence about the planning that went into the Apollo 11 Moon mission.

Historical items

“There will be flown items, autographed items and items of historical significance,” said Mark Armstrong, son of the historic moonwalker. “There will be items that make you think, items that make you laugh and items that make you scratch your head.”

The auctions will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 mission.

Dallas-based Heritage Auctions has scheduled three auctions for the collection, the first time these personal items have been offered for sale: November 1-2, 2018; May 9-10, 2019; and November 2019.
