Omega and Space Timepieces

Amazing 18K Speedmaster Pro dedicated to the late Gus Grissom, commander of Gemini III— the first official Omega flight

9001. Gus Grissom 18K Gold Omega Speedmaster

Professional 1969 Apollo 11 Commemorative Watch.

Extraordinary 18K solid yellow gold Omega Speedmaster

Professional BA 145.022 watch presented to the family of the late Gus Grissom at a special gala dinner on November 25, 1969, at the Hotel Warwick in Houston. Omega initially created 26 of these gold commemorative watches—known as the ‘Tribute to Astronauts’ watch—to present to NASA astronauts alive and deceased, with the case back of each watch specially engraved with a quote, the name and missions of the astronaut, and a unique number relative to when the astronaut flew into space. This watch’s case back, issued as “No. 4,” is encircled, “Astronaut Virgil I. Grissom, Mercury 4Gemini 3.” The special central quote reads: “To mark man’s conquest of space with time, through time, on time.”

The first gold Speedmaster that Omega created, the watch features an 18K gold case with the same design cues and dimensions as the regular steel Speedmaster Professional. The gold bezel has a burgundy red aluminum inlay, with the famous ‘dot over ninety,’ and a special solid gold dial, indicated by the “OM” next to “Swiss Made,” which means ‘Or Massif’ or ‘solid gold.’ The hour markers are made of onyx, have two facets each, and are set in gold frames. The hands are black with gold centers and give wonderful contrast to the solid gold dial. The gold bracelet (1116/575) features hollow links and a small 14mm gold clasp with striping decoration. Inside the 18k gold 42mm case ticks the Lemania-based copper-colored chronograph caliber 861 with a steel brake; this caliber 861 has a ticking speed of 21,600vph and uses 17 jewels. Includes its original hinged Omega case and cardboard box (with “Virgil I. Grissom” on a typed label affixed to the bottom, evidently applied for distribution at the ‘Tribute for Astronauts’ dinner), as well as felt Omega bag; an engraved identification plaque was later added to the front of the case. The watch received official Omega authorized service in 2018 (nothing cosmetic done, only lube, etc.) and is in fine functional condition; cosmetically, the watch exhibits very minimal wear—it is a superior example, with just a few minor scratches.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from noted collector Raleigh DeGeer Amyx, noting that he acquired the watch

from Grissom’s widow, Betty Grissom. Additionally includes a 1994 letter from Omega to Amyx, offering some history of the elusive 18K gold Speedmaster Pro astronaut watches and describing this chronograph as “of incalculable value.”

After the moon-flown Omega Speedmaster Pros—property of the United States government—these Apollo XI commemorative 18K gold chronographs stand at the forefront of space watch lore. Issued in an extremely limited number to commemorate the Apollo 11 landing, the first twenty-eight watches produced were reserved for President Richard Nixon (#1) and Vice President Spiro T. Agnew (#2), followed by the 26 astronauts who paved the way for the moon landings in the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. Only 19 of the 26 astronauts honored were able to attend the gala dinner at which they were presented—the Apollo 12 crew was still in quarantine after their return to Earth on November 24, 1969, and the Apollo 1 crew were being recognized posthumously. These early watches all feature the special central engraving, “To mark man’s conquest of space with time, through time, on time.” The publicly available version of the watch (numbers 33–1000) was issued with a caseback commemorating Apollo 11 and the Speedmaster’s status as ‘the first watch worn on the moon.’ Omega returned to the special engraving for the astronaut watches later issued to the crews of Apollo 14–17.

The elusive gold astronaut chronograph also takes a place as the most expensive Speedmaster Pro ever sold: in October 2022, RR Auction sold Wally Schirra’s example of the Apollo 11 commemorative 18K gold Omega Speedmaster Professional chronograph watch (Ref. BA 145.022) for nearly $2 million. This example holds particular esteem, as it may be the lowest numbered example to ever come to market—the first two, designated for Nixon and Agnew, are held by Omega’s museum, making only Shepard’s watch (#3) a possible candidate for the auction block. It is further noteworthy in that Gemini 3, commanded by Grissom, was the first mission to wear the Omega Speedmaster as official equipment. A stunning timepiece, honoring an astronaut who gave the ultimate sacrifice—his life—for the American space program. Starting Bid $25,000

Remarkable solid gold Omega Speedmaster presented to Apollo 12 moonwalker Alan Bean

9002. Alan Bean’s 18K Gold Omega Speedmaster Professional 1969 Apollo 11 Commemorative Watch. Alan Bean’s personally-owned and -worn 18K solid yellow gold Omega Speedmaster Professional BA 145.022 watch intended for presentation to him at a special gala dinner on November 25, 1969, at the Hotel Warwick in Houston; Bean was, however, still in Apollo 12 quarantine at the time, and received the watch later on. Omega initially created 26 of these gold commemorative watches—known as the ‘Tribute to Astronauts’ watch—to present to NASA astronauts alive and deceased, with the case back of each watch specially engraved with a quote, the name and missions of the astronaut, and a unique number relative to when the astronaut flew into space. This watch’s case back, issued as “No. 26,” is encircled, “Astronaut Alan Bean, Apollo 12,” with his role on “Skylab Mission II” added later by Bean’s Houston jeweler. The special central quote reads: “To mark man’s conquest of space with time, through time, on time.”

The first gold Speedmaster that Omega created, the watch features an 18K gold case with the same design cues and dimensions as the regular steel Speedmaster Professional. The gold bezel has a burgundy red aluminum inlay, with the famous ‘dot over ninety,’ and a special solid gold dial, indicated by the “OM” next to “Swiss Made,” which means ‘Or Massif’ or ‘solid gold.’ The hour markers are made of onyx, have two facets each, and are set in gold frames. The hands are black with gold centers and give wonderful contrast to the solid gold dial. The gold bracelet (1116/575) features hollow links and a small 14mm gold clasp with striping decoration. Inside the 18k gold 42mm case ticks the Lemania-based copper-colored chronograph caliber 861 with a steel brake; this caliber 861 has a ticking speed of 21,600vph and uses 17 jewels. Includes a very rare, non-original Omega Speedmaster box with a design of the cratered lunar surface (this box was provided with the steel version of the anniversary watch). The watch received official Omega authorized service in 2018 (nothing cosmetic done, only lube, etc.) and is in fine functional condition; cosmetically, it exhibits light wear from use, primarily noticeable in scratches to the bracelet’s clasp.

Accompanied by a handwritten letter of provenance from Alan Bean, in full: “I hereby certify that the accompanying Gold Speedmaster Watch, engraved on the back, ‘Astronaut

Alan Bean,’ ‘To Mark Man’s Conquest of Space with Time, Through Time, On Time,’ ‘Apollo 12,’ ‘Skylab Mission II,’ was awarded to me by the Omega Watch Company in a ceremony in Houston shortly after the completion of the Apollo program. I have worn the watch over the years, particularly on special occasions.” Worn often throughout the decades, there exist several photographs of Alan Bean with the watch on his wrist—including during Skylab training, in an official NASA portrait, and at one of his later art exhibitions.

A truly remarkable example of an iconic timepiece.

Magnificent 18K gold Omega Speedmaster Pro presented to Apollo 17 CMP Ron Evans, with ultra-rare 3D ‘crater’ box

9003. Ron Evans’s 18K Gold Omega Speedmaster Professional Watch. Ron Evan’s personally-owned 18K solid yellow gold Omega Speedmaster Professional chronograph wristwatch (Ref. BA 145.022), presented to the Apollo 17 CMP by Omega following his success in the last lunar landing mission. One of a special numbered edition of 1014 pieces made to celebrate the success of the Apollo 11 moon landing, this watch is number “1007” and is engraved as such on the caseback. The back is further engraved with the recipient’s name and mission, “Astronaut Ronald E. Evans, Apollo 17,” with a central quote: “To mark man’s conquest of space with time, through time, on time.”

The first gold Speedmaster that Omega created, the watch features an 18K gold case with the same design cues and dimensions as the regular steel Speedmaster Professional. The gold bezel has a burgundy red aluminum inlay, with the famous ‘dot over ninety,’ and a special solid gold dial, indicated by the “OM” next to “Swiss Made,” which means ‘Or Massif’ or ‘solid gold.’ The hour markers are made of onyx, have two facets each, and are set in gold frames. The hands are black with gold centers and give wonderful contrast to the solid gold dial. The gold bracelet (1116/575) features hollow links and a small 14mm gold clasp with striping decoration. Inside the 18k gold 42mm case ticks the Lemania-based copper-colored chronograph caliber 861 with a steel brake; this caliber 861 has a ticking speed of 21,600vph and uses 17 jewels. Complete with its extremely rare three-dimensional cratered Omega Speedmaster box, featuring lunar imagery raised in relief on all four sides of the lid. The watch received official Omega authorized service in 2018 (nothing cosmetic done, only lube,

etc.) and is in fine functional condition; cosmetically, it exhibits light wear from use, primarily noticeable in wear to the bezel.

Of the 1014 examples of these watches produced, Omega famously reserved #1 and #2 for President Richard Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew; numbers 3–28 were then presented to the astronauts of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs at a famous gala dinner on November 25, 1969. As Evans had not yet flown in space, he did not receive a watch at that time. Those astronauts who flew later—the crews of Apollo 14 through 17—were presented with numbers 1001–1008 in 1972–73. The special inscription on the caseback—”To mark man’s conquest of space with time, through time, on time”—was reserved exclusively for the astronauts and select VIPs. The publicly available watches (#33–1000) featured two variants of a caseback commemorating Apollo 11 and the Speedmaster’s status as ‘the first watch worn on the moon.’

Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by Ron Evans’ widow, Janet Evans, in part: “I certify that the old Omega Speedmaster watch offered with this letter, serial number 1007, is the one presented to my husband Ron Evans, CMP Apollo 17, by the Omega watch company.” Additionally includes an ‘Extract of the Archives’ document package from Omega, offering the watch’s specifications and remarking: “This watch was given to astronaut Ron Evans by Omega as a gift. It bears the no. 1007.”

Apollo 12 CMP Richard Gordon’s favorite watch—an 18K gold Rolex President Day-Date, presented after the mission

9004. Richard Gordon’s 18K Gold Rolex President Day-Date Watch. Richard Gordon’s personally-owned and frequently-worn 18K yellow gold Rolex President Day-Date wristwatch (Ref. 1803, Serial No. 2038922), presented to him shortly after his Apollo 12 mission in 1969. The caseback features a presentation engraving, “Richard Gordon, 11/14–24/69, Apollo XII.” This classic Rolex boasts a standard fluted bezel, champagne dial with day at the 12-o’clock position, date under the ‘Cyclops’ magnifier at 3-o’clock, stick hour markings, and luminous hands. The watch received official Rolex authorized service in 2021 (nothing cosmetic done, only lube, etc.) and is in fine functional condition; cosmetically, it exhibits wear from Gordon’s frequent use, primarily evident in scratches to the crystal and one chip to the crystal’s edge at the 6-7 o’clock position.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Gordon’s son, Lawrence Gordon, on behalf of the Richard Gordon Family Trust, which auctioned the watch in November 2020. In part: “I do hereby confirm that this is the personal watch of Astronaut Richard Gordon. It was inscribed and presented to him as a gift by the Rolex company shortly after his Apollo XII mission.” This was evidently Gordon’s favorite watch, as he is frequently seen wearing it in photographs taken over the years—among these are images of him at his 1993 induction into the United States Astronaut Hall of Fame and at a Spacefest function, included with the watch.

The most prolific spaceman’s Omega ‘Moon Watch’— carried on the ISS in 2012

9005. ISS Expedition 31/32: Gennady Padalka’s Flown Omega Speedmaster Pro. Record-setting cosmonaut Gennady Padalka’s flown Omega Speedmaster

Professional wristwatch, serial number 77754951, used on the International Space Station during Expedition 31/32 in 2012. The iconic timepiece is a black-faced, stainless steel chronograph, manual wind wristwatch with a Plexiglass crystal, solid case back, anti-vibration and anti-magnetic dust cover, black tachymeter bezel and sub-dials, without date or day complications, powered by a caliber 861-based movement. Engraved on the case back is “Flight-Qualified by NASA For All Manned Space Missions / The First Watch Worn on the Moon.” The watch is on a black Velcro wristband, but includes the original metal bracelet issued with it. Also includes the original Omega red leather box, operating manual, and white cardboard box, which has a “Gennady Ivanovich Padalka” label affixed on the cover. In fine condition, with some light scuffing to the crystal. Originally sold by RR Auction in 2017, this watch was subsequently serviced by Omega (nothing cosmetic done, only lube, etc.), and includes a leather Omega band purchased later.

Accompanied by two letters of authenticity signed by Padalka, one typed and one handwritten; the handwritten letter reads, in part: “I herewith certify this Speedmaster Professional watch…was flown on the ISS and used by me during Expedition 31/32 in 2012.” The typed letter, in part: “On May 15th, 2012, I launched to the ISS aboard Soyuz TMA-04M from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and arrived at the ISS on May 17th, 2012. I…returned to Earth on September 17th, 2012 after a total of 125 days on orbit and my 3rd mission to the ISS…During EXP 32, Yuri Malenchenko and I performed a spacewalk outside the space station…During my time outside the station, I left this chronograph in the Pirs Module air lock and it was subjected to the vacuum of the space environment for 5 hours and 51 minutes during my ninth EVA in Space. This watch flew a total of 2 thousand orbits during 125 days in Space and traveled approximately 50 million miles during my space flight. This Omega Speedmaster has been part of my personal collection since I returned to Earth after the Expedition 32 mission to the International Space Station. This chronograph is one of the rare artifacts to journey into Space.”

Also includes images of Padalka wearing the watch in space and signing the letters of authenticity.

Commonly known as the ‘Moon Watch,’ the Omega Speedmaster Pro underwent exhaustive testing by NASA during the 1960s—assorted wristwatches were exposed to environmental conditions ranging from 0 to 200 °F, tested under 95% humidity for ten day periods, endured bursts of high acceleration and shock forces, and experienced severe air pressure and vibration trials. After three years of extreme testing, the evaluation concluded in March 1965 with the selection of the Speedmaster, which survived the tests while staying accurate within five seconds per day. Most often associated with the Apollo program, the Omega Speedmaster has become one of the most iconic timepieces ever created. This example casts the famous ‘Moon Watch’ in a new light—used in space by Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, who holds the record for most cumulative days spent in space. Although the ‘Space Race’ was born out of competition between Russia and America, the International Space Station represents a new era of cooperation between former enemies. Swiss-made, American-proved, and Russian-worn, this watch represents a pinnacle in space collecting. Starting Bid $2,500

limited space-flown Omega Speedmaster Pro chronographs

9006. Mir Flown Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph (365 Days in Space). Exceptional flown Omega Speedmaster Professional chronograph wristwatch which stayed on Space Station MIR for an entire year—one of 28 carried to the space station on Soyuz TM-17 and returned to Earth on Soyuz TM-18. The stainless steel Speedmaster Pro ‘Moonwatch,’ Movement No. 48.294.659, Case Ref. ST 345.0022.105, is engraved on the caseback as a limited edition (9/28), and reads: “365 Days on board Space Station MIR, July 1993–July 1994.” The outer back ring reminds us of the chrono’s chief claim to fame: “The First Watch Worn on the Moon.” A classic example of the Omega Speedmaster Pro, the watch features an Omega 861 caliber movement (manualwinding chronograph with 30-minute and 12-hour recorders), black dial with luminous (tritium) indexes, and stainless steel case and bracelet.

The space-flown timepiece is impressively housed in a fitted aluminum case—measuring 18˝ x 13.5˝ x 5.5˝, and weighing 20 pounds with its contents—containing a leather Omega presentation box, operating manual, Omega Speedmaster Professional VHS tape, and Italian edition of the hardcover

“The Moon Watch” book. Also accompanied by an ‘Extract of the Archives’ document package from Omega, offering the watch’s specifications and remarking that it is a “limited edition of 28 pieces having orbited the earth during 365 days (July 1993–July 1994) on board the Russian MIR station.”

This was one of a total of 35 Omega Speedmaster Professional chronograph watches (28 stainless steel and 7 gold), carried to the Russian Space Station Mir aboard Soyuz TM-17 in 1993. The group of watches spent a total of 365 days on the space station, where they were observed to gain a further understanding of the effects of microgravity on watch movements. The watches were returned to Earth a year later on Soyuz TM-18, after which they were inspected and offered for sale by Omega.

Cosmodrome on July 3, 1974, and returning on July 19, 1974. While on board Salyut 3, the cosmonauts reportedly assessed the suitability of the space station as a crewed military reconnaissance platform—including the alleged test of high-resolution Earth spy camera systems—and conducted human biological experiments, monitoring heart and circulatory systems, lung capacity, and intracranial pressure.

This desirable Omega Flightmaster, flown on a secretive Soviet space mission, boasts a manual-wind Omega 911 caliber movement, featuring 30-minute, 12-hour, and running seconds subdials, with a full-sized chronograph sweep hand and an independent GMT hand. All are housed in a a hefty 43mm steel case on an Omega steel link band with deployment clasp. This is the ‘yellow hands’ variant, allowing for higher legibility in aircraft/spacecraft cabins.

A variant of the Speedmaster line, Omega developed the Flightmaster specifically for use in aviation. With its oversized case, seven hands, three crowns, and two pushers, the Flightmaster is a distinctive and highly functional space-age timepiece. Its wearer, Yuri Artyukhin (1930–1998), was a graduate of the Soviet Air Force Institute with a doctorate in engineering, specializing in military communication systems. Soyuz 14 was his only spaceflight, after which he went on to participate in the development of the Soviet space shuttle Buran and in cosmonaut training.

A witness to the Space Age— NASA Flight

Director Neil Hutchinson’s Rolex GMT-Master wristwatch

9008. Neil Hutchinson’s Rolex GMT-Master Wristwatch. NASA Flight Director Neil B. Hutchinson’s Rolex GMT-Master (Reference #1675) wristwatch, worn on a daily basis throughout his career in Mission Control—from Hutchinson’s wrist, this iconic timepiece witnessed the key events from the age of Apollo through the early Space Shuttle missions. Serial no. 1533666, movement no. 1432504, the watch was manufactured in 1966 and purchased by Hutchinson in 1967. It features a 26-jewel Oyster Perpetual Movement, black dial, blue-and-red bezel with 24-hour scale (nicknamed the ‘Pepsi’ color scheme), date indicator with famous Rolex ‘Cyclops’ magnifying bubble in the acrylic crystal, and original stainless steel Rolex Oyster bracelet (Ref. #78360).

The bezel rotates so that the local time zone and Greenwich Mean Time may be simultaneously represented, a system developed thanks to the age of flight—Rolex collaborated with Pan American World Airways to devise the scheme, so that their long-haul pilots could keep track of both local time and GMT, which was used for all aviation flight planning. In fine condition, with light scratches to the crystal, and expected signs of use. Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by Hutchinson, plus the original box and rare paperwork—a Rolex GMT-Master instruction booklet, Rolex Superlative Chronometer warranty booklet, tiny Rolex ‘auto-lock’ bezel pamphlet, and Bureaux Suisses chronometer certification document. The watch received official Rolex authorized service in 2022 (nothing cosmetic done, only lube, etc.).

Hutchinson’s letter of provenance provides a detailed chronology of his NASA career and mission assignments, beginning with Apollo 4, continuing through the Skylab program and ApolloSoyuz mission, and finishing with the fourth flight of the Space Shuttle. In part: “I, Neil B. Hutchinson, certify that Rolex GMT Master watch…was purchased by me in the fall of 1967 and has since remained continuously in my possession. It was worn on a daily basis throughout my career in NASA Mission Control. This Rolex GMT served me well in the variety of capacities for which I served…This watch has seen some of the most exciting moments in our early manned space program history.”

The watch can easily be seen on Hutchinson’s wrist in images from NASA’s archives—including one of Hutchinson with astronaut Bruce McCandless II, and another of Hutchinson in the Mission Operations Control Room during Apollo-Soyuz—as well as in a video of a briefing with Christa McAuliffe. Desirable on its own as a classic vintage Rolex, the exceptional provenance and association with NASA’s most historic flights—including every manned Apollo mission—make this one of the most intriguing and historically significant space-related timepieces we have encountered.

Apollo-era Omega Speedmaster Pro—the exact model worn on Apollo 11

as those used on the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission. It features an Omega 321 calibre movement, with subdials for seconds, a minutes-elapsed counter for the chronograph, and similar hours-elapsed counter. The large third hand on the main dial provides stopwatch functionality, and the fixed bezel is incremented to act as a tachymeter—a convenient method for determining miles per hour. This example exhibits some wear to the bezel and a lightly toned dial. The manual-wind watch runs and keeps excellent time. We recommend that it be serviced to ensure full function and reliability. It has been placed on a modern brown leather Omega bracelet. The Omega Speedmaster Pro, commonly known as the ‘Moon

Watch,’ underwent exhaustive testing by NASA during the 1960s—assorted wristwatches were exposed to environmental conditions ranging from 0 to 200 °F, tested under 95% humidity for ten day periods, endured bursts of high acceleration and shock forces, and experienced severe air pressure and vibration trials. After three years of extreme testing, the evaluation concluded in March 1965 with the selection of the Speedmaster, which survived the tests while staying accurate within five seconds per day.

When the Apollo LM ‘Eagle’ touched down on the lunar surface, Neil Armstrong left his 105.012 Speedmaster inside the Lunar Module as a backup because the LM’s electronic timer had malfunctioned. Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin elected to wear his during his historic EVA, and so it was Aldrin’s 105.012 ‘Speedy’ that became the first watch to be worn on the moon. Starting Bid $500

The incredible Earth Path Indicator, a navigational aid for Glenn and Carpenter’s Mercury missions

9064. Mercury Program Earth Path Indicator. Project Mercury Earth Path Indicator manufactured by the Minneapolis Honeywell Regulator Company, measuring 5˝ x 5.25˝ x 9.5˝, with face featuring a window to interior Earth globe and five knobs marked “Orbit Time,” “Wind,” “Polar,” “Inclination Degrees,” and “Orbital.” The back plate is stamped “A 1959, MFD JUN 1960,” with Honeywell parts label affixed directly above: “MFRS. Part No. DJG280A1, Series A6, Serial No. J-17, Earth Path Indicator.” Includes four original faceplate screws. The device is still functional—turning the “Wind” knob makes the Earth slowly rotate as the mechanism ticks. The “Inclination Degrees” shows how many degrees from exactly along the equator the orbital track was, and is set for 32.5 degrees—the orbital inclination of Glenn’s MA-6 flight. fine condition, with expected wear from use. Consignor notes that it originates from the collection of a former NASA employee.

The Earth Path Indicator (EPI), also called an Earth Orbit Indicator, was one of the navigational tools installed in the Mercury space capsule. An unusual precursor to a modern GPS, the device consists of a small revolving globe driven by a clockwork mechanism. Once in stable orbit, the astronaut would wind up the clockwork, and set the position of a tiny scale model of the Mercury capsule, under which the globe would slowly rotate. A means of replicating the Earth below, the EPI would inform the astronaut of his orbital tracking and where he was in relation to countries, cities, oceans, ground stations, and eventually the point of re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. This information was critical to making observations of the Earth, maintaining communications, and concluding the mission with a safe and successful splashdown. The EPI was launched in 1961 on an unmanned test flight, and then on the 1962 Mercury flights of John Glenn and Scott Carpenter, the first Americans to orbit the Earth. The EPI was ultimately deemed superfluous and was part of the hardware removed for Wally Schirra’s Mercury-Atlas 8 mission. Starting Bid $5,000

Historic pairing of items: an ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, in full: “Instead of blaming newly designed equipment observers blamed Gus Grissom for blowing his hatch after his water landing. This caused the spacecraft to sink and almost cost Gus his life. I was almost badly hurt during a helicopter pick-up in training, and I decided to have Sigma 7, my Mercury spacecraft, hoisted onboard the carrier by a shipboard crane. A mattress was placed near the hatch of Sigma 7 permitting me to blow the hatch while on the flight deck. I hit the plunger, actuator with my right hand. The ‘switch’ was about two inches in diameter, and the recoil cut through my glove and cut my hand. Gus was thrilled to see the cut, the next day, on the carrier, and we all agreed there had been no marks on Gus after Libery Bell sank. Gus was vindicated”; and a color satin-finish 10 x 8 composite photo of Schirra’s experiment with the hatch, signed in the lower border in black felt tip, “Schirra blows the hatch, Gus is vindicated! Wally Schirra,” adding his mission insignia next to his signature. In overall fine condition. Speculation over Grissom’s mishandling of the Liberty Bell 7 hatch was finally put to rest by fellow Mercury astronaut Schirra, whose experiment and subsequent hand injury during the Sigma 7 landing convinced NASA engineers that Grissom was indeed telling the truth, and that blame should be cast on the spacecraft’s faulty egress system.

This included cleaning the outsides of the SRC’s or Same Return Containers. These were the ‘rock boxes’ that were vacuum sealed while we were outside on the lunar surface. All these steps were done just after Eagle had docked with Columbia at about 128 hours into the mission…A day earlier, Neil and I became the first humans to land and walk on the Moon’s surface.

Silver slung around the moon on Apollo 13— a sought-after Robbins medallion

the launch date of April 11, 1970, and the return date of April 17, 1970. The medal is serial numbered “277” and stamped above with the Robbins “Sterling” hallmark. Encapsulated and graded by NGC as “MS 65,” with the label noting the provenance, “Ex.

A total of 400 medals were originally minted with the names of the scheduled prime crew—James Lovell, Ken Mattingly, and Fred Haise—and carried on the harrowing flight. The last-minute crew change, with Jack Swigert replacing Mattingly due to potential illness, dictated a return of the flown medallions to Robbins to be melted down and re-struck with the correct crew. Additionally, since the lunar landing was aborted, only two engraving blanks were placed on the reverse side for the launch and return dates. Starting Bid $1,000

The Lunar Bible is impressively suede-matted and mounted within a golden Christian Cross encasement designed by the Apollo Prayer League, accented with fourteen pave diamonds (signifying Apollo 14)

Flown heel restraints used by Stuart Roosa during the launch of Apollo 14

9423. Stuart Roosa’s Apollo 14 Heel Restraints

(Attested as Flown). Stuart A. Roosa’s heel restraints attested to as being flown into lunar orbit during the Apollo 14 mission. To prevent injury, Roosa used these heel restraints to secure his feet in place during the violent early stages of the mission’s Saturn V launch on January 31, 1971. The restraints are made of very lightweight metal plates, both 3˝ x 4˝ x .75˝, and heavy-duty brown stirrup straps with Velcro closures, both featuring parts labels that read: “Heel Restraint L.H., BW-1053-001, S/N: 1141, Date of Mfg: 8/21/69, Mfg. by: B. Welson Co.” The right, accordingly, is identified as “Heel Restraint R.H., BW-1053-002,” the balance information identical to the left side. In fine condition. Includes a copied section of the original stowage list for the Apollo 14 mission, which confirms that heel restraints with identical drawing numbers

were manifest onboard the Apollo 14 Command Module. However, the Apollo Stowage List does not indicate serial numbers. There were several sets of these heel restraints produced with identical drawing numbers (BW-1053-001/002) and, as such, we cannot confirm that S/N 1141 was the set that actually flew onboard the CM for that mission.

Accompanied by a wooden display box with the lid etched with the Apollo 14 insignia, a notarized letter of authenticity from Roosa’s daughter, Rosemary, attesting to the heel restraints’ flown status and their presence on the “confirmed flown manifest,” and a signed letter of authenticity from Rosemary, who certifies that “these items are authentic and are from Apollo 14 Astronaut Stuart ‘Stu’ Roosa.” Starting Bid $1,000

Critical launch-phase safety restraints flown into orbit on the Apollo 14 CM Kitty Hawk

9424. Edgar Mitchell’s Apollo 14 Flown Heel Restraints. Edgar Mitchell’s flown heel restraints that were carried into lunar orbit during the Apollo 14 mission. To prevent injury, Mitchell used these heel restraints to secure his feet in place during the violent early stages of the mission’s Saturn V launch on January 31, 1971. The restraints are made of very lightweight metal plates, both 3˝ x 4˝ x .75˝, and heavy-duty brown stirrup straps with Velcro closures, both featuring sewn-on parts labels: “Heel Restraint L.H., BW-1053-001, S/N: 1142, Date of Mfg: 8/21/69, Mfg. by: B. Welson Co.” and “Heel Restraint R.H., BW1053-002, S/N: 1140, Date of Mfg: 8/21/69, Mfg. by: B. Welson Co.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance signed by Mitchell, in part: “This document certifies that the accompanying set of heel restraints were flown into lunar orbit aboard Kittyhawk on the Apollo 14 mission, which launched from Cape Kennedy on January 31, 1971.” In fine condition.

These heel restraints locked the astronauts’ feet in place for safety during liftoff of the Saturn V rocket from Earth. If the astronauts were not tightly restrained in their couches during the launch phase, the violent motion induced from extreme acceleration could result in injury. As an important piece of safety equipment used during the mission that followed the near-disastrous Apollo 13, this pair of restraints is an extraordinary artifact of manned spaceflight.

9523. Gene Cernan’s Apollo 17 Flown Lunar Surface-

Used EVA-1 Cuff Checklist. Commander Gene Cernan’s Apollo 17 EVA-1 cuff checklist, carried and used extensively on the lunar surface during the first extravehicular activity of the last Apollo moon mission. Just before taking his first step onto the moon, with this checklist strapped to his left wrist, Cernan remarked: ‘I’m on the footpad. And, Houston, as I step off at the surface at Taurus–Littrow, we’d like to dedicate the first step of Apollo 17 to all those who made it possible.’

Cernan wore this cuff checklist on his wrist for the duration of the first EVA of Apollo 17, exposing it to the lunar environment for 7 hours and 12 minutes—as such, its pages are still streaked with lunar dust. This checklist can be seen on his wrist in both film footage and photographic stills taken during the EVA, most evidently in images of him saluting the American flag after its deployment.

The cuff checklist is a comprehensive guide for the entire extravehicular activity, offering preparation procedures, simplified maps, and task lists: the principal goals of EVA-1 were offloading the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), deploying the American flag, setting up experiment packages, and collecting samples of moon rocks and lunar soil. Interspersed are cartoons of astronaut-dogs exploring the lunar surface, playfully inserted by the backup crew—an Apollo tradition. The first shows Snoopy bounding over the lunar terrain. Captioned “The Beginning Not The End,” the cartoon acknowledges Apollo 17’s place as the ultimate Apollo mission and looks toward the future.

The checklist consists of 25 spiral-bound double-sided pages, each measuring 3.5˝ x 2.5˝, attached to an aluminum wrist brace marked with part numbers, “P/N SEB 33100302-302, S/N 1028.” The original black Velcro wristband remains attached. The checklist’s pages are smudged with gray lunar dust, making its extensive use on the moon’s surface self-evident. These moon dust deposits were extensively analyzed by Prof. Dr. Stephen J. Mojzsis, Research Professor and Senior Advisor Director, Origins Research Institute Research Centre for Astronomy & Earth Sciences. His 99-page report, which includes many electron microscope photos and spectrographic displays of the individual elements present in the samples, is included. Mojzsis concluded that the material “is indeed consistent with descriptions of dusts and other samples reported in the Apollo

17 Lunar Sample Information Catalogue, as well as in other published reports of lunar material.”

Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance signed by Gene Cernan, as well as two pages signed by Cernan featuring images of him with the checklist (one on the moon in 1971, and one circa 2013). Cernan’s letter, in small part: “EVA1 was a high level work period. The cuff checklist reflects that by being completely smothered with lunar dust. The dust, more correctly named ‘Lunar Regolith,’ is the top soil of the Moon. The dust was very abrasive and clung to everything it came in contact with during our time on the Moon’s surface. I have kept this cuff checklist as a memento of my time on the Moon at the Valley of Taurus-Littrow after NASA returned it to me in 1973. On September 25, 2012, Congress passed bill HR 4158 that officially gave us possession of the mementos from our flights that had been in our collections for the past 40 years. This cuff checklist represents one of the rarest of Apollo artifacts as a piece of vital equipment that I used during my excursions on the lunar surface in the Valley of Taurus-Littrow.”

Further enhancing the flown checklist is its remarkable, museum-quality display. This includes: a highly accurate replica of Cernan’s left-handed Apollo A7-LB EVA glove fabricated by renowned artist Ryan Nagata, whose work has appeared in Hollywood movies including the Neil Armstrong biopic First Man; a display case consisting of a custom-machined aluminum platform, engraved on the front, “Apollo 17 EVA1 Checklist, Worn by Commander Gene Cernan, 7 Hrs 12 Mins on the Lunar Surface, December 11, 1972,” with clear acrylic cover to protect the glove and checklist from contaminants; a laserengraved aluminum presentation box displaying the Apollo 17 mission insignia, containing Cernan’s signed provenance documents and Dr. Mojzsis’s report on the lunar dust, which slides into a felt-lined slot in the rear of the base; a second laser-engraved aluminum box containing selected photograph reprints from Apollo 17 EVA-1, documenting Cernan’s activities on the lunar surface, as well as photos of the checklist; an original example of the NASA manual entitled “Apollo 17 Final Lunar Surface Procedures, Vol. 1: Nominal Plans,” documenting the planning for lunar surface EVA operations on Mission J-3, housed in a matching custom laser-engraved aluminum presentation binder; and some other supplementary materials.

It has a distinctive and unique burn pattern due to the high temperature of re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere and it can be photo-matched to an included image of the ‘America’ floating in the South Pacific Ocean after splashdown on December 19, 1972; note the folded lower bard of the arrow’s head and the more aggressively burned bottom edge. As one of the only immediately visually identifiable elements of the spacecraft’s exterior, this is a truly remarkable and displayable piece; such flown items are virtually unobtainable. Also included is a letter of provenance from Terrance Moy, a member of the Apollo 17 UDT [Underwater Demolition Team] 11 Recovery Team, who

The data entry and display device measures 8˝ x 8˝ x 6.5˝, and has 19 keys and an electroluminescent alphanumeric display. The back of the unit retains its NASA/Raytheon Co. metal label which reads, “Apollo G & N System, ACG DSKY Assembly, Part No. 2003994-011, Serial No. RAY 39, Cont. No. NAS 9-497.” The unit is stenciled on the side in white: “2004705 Rev. A.” The drawing number indicates this is an early generation of the Block II DSKY, and as such would not have been flown. In very good condition, with cracked glass and area of circular loss to the display.

This interface was the instrument that allowed the astronauts to communicate directly with the on board guidance computer. The Command Module had two DSKYs connected to its AGC: one located on the main instrument panel and a second located in the lower equipment bay near a sextant used for aligning the inertial guidance platform, with a single DSKY installed in the Lunar Module. These units would also be used during the Skylab missions. Each AGC program had a two-digit code displayed on the screen, and commands were entered via a numerical keypad as two-digit numbers in a verb-noun sequence. It was the DSKY that provided the astronauts with critical burn times for engine firings, course corrections, trajectories, and other key calculations vital in getting a crew to and from the moon. The DSKY also reported the program alarm moments before the LM touched down on the lunar surface on the first lunar landing. DSKY units are among the most recognizable and historically significant of all Apollo spacecraft parts. Starting Bid $10,000

Sought-after Apollo-era Q-ball package, as flown on early uncrewed Saturn I launches

9640. Saturn I Q-Ball Angle of Attack Nose Cone Sensor. Export restricted (ITAR), sale only to US Citizens and Organizations. Desirable Apollo-era Angle of Attack Sensor System, commonly called the Q-Ball, measuring approximately 18.5” tall and 13.25” in diameter across the base, with a Nortronics/Northrop plaque on the base: “F16 Q Ball, Part No. 22620000-1, Serial No. 11, Contract No. NAS8-2583.” In very good to fine condition, with wear to the exterior and the identification plate re-glued to the base.

Although the mature version of the Apollo Q-Ball that flew on the manned flights was of a different design under a different contract, this piece represents developmental work toward that end. According to NASA Technical Memorandum TM

X-53462: “A complete Q-ball package known as the F-16 was flown on Saturn SA-4 through SA-7 vehicles. This is a normal Q-ball which has a 2-inch nose radius.” These were uncrewed test flights of the Saturn I launch vehicle; the Q-ball which would become part of the Saturn V Emergency Detection System (EDS) had a 4-inch nose diameter and eight ports on the nose, compared to the six ports on the F16 model. The Q-ball package measured pressure change differentials between the ports, which were used to compute aerody-namic incidence angle and dynamic pressure data. This data helped to determine whether or not the rocket was flying on course, and allowed the flight computer to make minor corrections to the trajectory. Starting Bid $200

Flight suit used on Lunar Landing Research Vehicle #2, complete with a rare LLRV instruction manual, reports, and photographs

9641.

of materials from the estate of Col. Emil ‘Jack’ Kluever, the only pilot to fly NASA Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (LLRV) #2. An experimental aircraft designed to accurately simulate the behavior of a lunar lander, LLRV #2 made just six flights at Edwards Air Force Base in early 1967. It was then decommissioned and cannibalized for parts used in building three Lunar Landing Training Vehicles (LLTVs), an improved version of the LLRV, for use by the Apollo astronauts at Houston’s Manned Spacecraft Center. Bill Anders described the LLTV as ‘a much unsung hero of the Apollo Program,’ while Neil Armstrong emphasized its importance in an address before the Society of Experimental Test Pilots in 2007: ‘The Lunar Landing Training Vehicle, or LLTV, proved to be an excellent simulator and was highly regarded by the Apollo Lunar Module crews as necessary for lunar landing preparation.’ As such, Kluever’s contributions were vital to the safety and success of the Apollo moon landing missions.

The highlight of the collection is Kluever’s NASA flight suit with embroidered ‘meatball’ emblem on the chest, manufactured by Flite Wear, constructed of white Nomex with frontal zipper from neck to crotch. The exterior features two diagonal zippered outer breast pockets, a shoulder-mounted pocket with holders for four writing utensils, two side pockets, two upper

leg pockets, a snap-button pocket on upper left leg, and two lower leg pockets. The tag inside the collar reads: “Flite Wear by Land Mfg. Co., Wichita, Kansas, Flame Retardant,” with white size tag, “Large Long.” Includes two of Kluever’s white Toptex helmets, both with transparent visors: one, marked “Kl[ue]ver” on the back, retains its MBU-5/P oxygen mask; the other is labeled “Lt. Col. Kluever” on the forehead. Both helmets include their green USAF padded bags.

Further related ephemera from Kluever’s estate includes: a rare “Lunar Landing Research Vehicle Flight Manual” prepared for NASA by Bell Aerosystems, complete with fold-out diagrams of the experimental aircraft, operation instructions, and descriptions of systems and procedures; a Bell Aerosystems “Pilot Operation and Description of the LLRV Attitude Control System” report, describing the attitude control system and containing interesting blueprints of the ejection seat and instrument panel; a contemporary photostat copy of “An Assessment of Ground and Flight Simulators for the Examination of Manned Lunar Landing,” co-authored by Kluever; two original glossy 12 x 10 silver gelatin photographs of Kluever piloting the LLRV, affixed to 16 x 14 mounts; a softcover “1967 Report to the Aerospace Profession” published as part of the 11th Symposium Proceedings of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots; and his “Eagle Air Int.

On its 10th launch, on January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after liftoff, tragically killing the seven crew-members and forcing several changes to the Space Shuttle program. After several weeks devoted to astronaut recovery and salvage of the shuttle wreckage, a commission organized by President Reagan, named the Rogers Commission, was convened to look into the incident.

Chaired by former attorney general and secretary of state William P. Rogers, the commission included such members as Neil Armstrong, who served as vice chairman, David Acheson, Eugene Covert, Nobel Prize–winning physicist Richard Feynman, Sally Ride, and Chuck Yeager.

When the time came to write the report, Rogers tasked Armstrong and Acheson with writing it together. Their findings, which were published several months later, determined that the Challenger accident was caused by failure to an O-ring seal in the right solid rocket booster due to cold weather conditions. The Rogers Commission offered nine recommendations on improving safety in the Space Shuttle program, which ultimately led to the total redesign of the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) and to the creation of a new Office of Safety, Reliability and Quality Assurance. A powerful memento that connects the American space program’s greatest triumph—Neil Armstrong as history’s first moonwalker—with its deadliest tragedy. Starting Bid $500

9817. Ronald Reagan to Neil Armstrong on Challenger Investigation. TLS as president, one page, 7 x 10.5, White House letterhead, June 19, 1986. Letter to Neil Armstrong, expressing gratitude for his service as vice chairman on the Rogers Commission, which investigated Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. In full: “I want to thank you for your service as a member of the Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident. Your work has been exceptional and your contribution selfless. I would like to mention to you some of the many good results of the Commission’s work.

For NASA, you said it best in the concluding thought to the Commission’s report: ‘The findings and recommendations presented in this report are intended to contribute to the future NASA successes that the nation both expects and requires as the 21st century approaches.’

For space voyagers of the future, the Commission’s work will ensure that they will be traveling in vehicles as safe as human technology can devise.

For the American people, the Commission has, through the report, thoughtfully brought them along through each step of the investigation and let them get a close look at one of our nation’s greatest achievements—the space program.

As I mentioned when I was with you in the Rose Garden on June 9, 1986: ‘We’ve learned in these past few months that we are frail and fallible. But, we have also learned that

we have the courage to face our faults and the strength to correct our errors. Because we don’t hide our mistakes, we’re not condemned to repeat them.’ For these and many more reasons, I thank you for the out-standing work you have performed for America and for the future of our space program.” In fine condition, with light toning along the top. Encapsulated by CAG as being from the Armstrong Family Collection.

Created by presidential order, the Rogers Commission was charged with investigating the probable cause of the STS-51-L Challenger disaster and making recommendations for the avoidance of such tragedies in the future. The commission found that the Challenger accident was caused by a failure in the O-rings sealing the aft field joint on the right solid rocket booster, causing pressurized hot gases and eventually flame to ‘blow by’ the O-ring and contact the adjacent external tank, causing structural failure. The failure of the O-rings was attributed to a design flaw, as their performance could be too easily compromised by factors including the low temperature on the day of launch. The commission criticized NASA’s organizational culture and decision-making processes that had contributed to the accident, offering nine recommendations on improving safety in the Space Shuttle program. This ultimately led to the total redesign of the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) and to the creation of a new Office of Safety, Reliability and Quality Assurance.

Powerful Bell XLR-67 rocket engine, built for the first nuclear-tipped supersonic air-to-surface missile

Massive Bell Aircraft XLR-67-BA-1 liquid propellant rocket engine from the late 1950s, mounted on a 56” x 40” wheeled sled, designed for the GAM-63 RASCAL, which was the first nuclear-tipped supersonic air-to-surface missile. The XLR-67-BA-1 rocket engine provided 10,440 pounds-force (46.4 kN) of thrust using three vertical in-line thrust chambers. All three thrust chambers of the XLR-67 were operated during the missile’s boost phase which could last up to two minutes. At the conclusion of the boost phase the upper and lower chambers of the XLR-67 were shut down and thrust was sustained by the center chamber alone. This particular unit was featured in the music video for ‘One Way Ticket to the Moon’ by Dave Stewart (of Eurythmics fame).

Complete Sikhote-Alin meteorite— a gorgeous sculptural example

9935.

The Sikhote-Alin event is among the largest meteorite showers in recorded history. 320 million years ago an iron mass weighing about 100 tons broke away from a larger body and roamed through space at a cosmic velocity nearly ten miles a second until it encountered Earth at 10:30 AM on February 12, 1947. First, a fireball brighter than the Sun created moving shadows in broad daylight; then there were sonic booms which were heard hundreds of kilometers away. As a result of the pressure generated by striking Earth’s atmosphere, small individual meteorites broke off the larger mass. One large mass continued earthward, and when it was only six kilometers above Earth’s surface it exploded into thousands of pieces of shrapnel. The pressure wave from the explosion uprooted trees, shattered windows and crumbled chimneys. Many of the larger fragments produced impact craters; hundreds were catalogued as large as 26 meters in diameter.

As referenced above, there are two types of Sikhote-Alin meteorites: shrapnel-shaped specimens from the low altitude airburst and the more sought-after “complete individual” meteorites which broke apart in the highest reaches of Earth’s atmosphere. This is an example of the latter — and it’s a gorgeous sculptural example. This meteorite exhibits patches of fusion crust from its fiery atmospheric passage and it also features the

in Earth’s atmosphere.

Muonionalusta meteorite end piece— interior and exterior revealed

9936. Muonionalusta Meteorite End Piece. Iron meteorite, fine octahedrite – IVA, Kiruna, Sweden

Found above the Arctic Circle near the Muonio River in northern Sweden, Muonionalusta meteorites have been on Earth longer than most. Originating from the core of an asteroid between Jupiter and Mars, Muonionalusta fell to Earth about one million years ago. Had it not fallen in Northern Sweden but, say, New York, and if it stayed in the ground it would have slowly terrestrialized and disintegrated long before one million years passed — but Muonionalusta landed in what is among Earth’s coldest freezers.

Almost all Muonionalusta meteorites are subdivided to reveal the magic within because from the outside they typically look like common boulders. Referred to as glacial erratics, they tumbled again and again in one of Earth’s largest rock tumblers over four different ice ages. Like most iron meteorites Muonionalusta contains a relatively a large amount of iridium which is among the most rust resistant metals known — and it contains more than most iron meteorites. It was the presence of 100x more iridium than is typically found in Earth’s crust at the K-T Boundary (the transition between the Cretaceous and Tertiary geological formations) which gave rise to the theory that it was an iron asteroid which killed-off the dinosaurs…providing the opportunity for human life to evolve. Yes, we are here because of a meteorite impact.

When sliced and etched, Muonionalusta showcases the resplendent crystalline structure of its two iron-nickel alloys, kamacite and taenite. This matrix is diagnostic in the identification of an iron meteorite and different meteorites from different parent bodies have different patterns. As Gibeon meteorites have the same pattern and are compositionally the same as Muonionalusta, we can infer they are siblings; it just took Gibeons about a million years longer to arrive here.

The cut and face of this particular meteorite has a rather fascinating accent of plessite with Neumann bands arcing through the mass. Plessite is fine grained kamacite and taenite which did not develop into the crystalline lattice otherwise seen. Neumann bands from an extremely high velocity impact with another asteroid are seen. The reverse has a natural silvery patina as a result of having been cleaned — a hue closely to how it appeared before burning through the atmosphere. Exhibiting a shimmering latticework of its crystalline structure, and with quite a story — both on and off Earth — this exemplary Muonionalusta end piece is accompanied by a custom armature.

NWA 12691—a pocket-sized end piece of the Moon

NWA 12691, is the 12,691st meteorite to be recovered from the North West African grid of the Sahara Desert and then analyzed by a team of scientists, which then underwent peer review prior to publication in the scientific journal of record, the Meteoritical Bulletin.

While meteorites are rare — the weight of every meteorite known is less than the world’s annual output of gold — and lunar meteorites represent just 0.8% of all meteorites. There are less than 1000 kg of lunar meteorites (pieces of the Moon ejected off the Moon’s surface as a result of an asteroid impact) known to exist and all would fit in the back of a pick-up truck, and a good deal of this material is already in museums and research institutions.

Scientists are readily able to identify Moon rocks by analyzing a rock’s texture, mineralogy, chemistry and isotopes. Moon rocks also contain gases from the solar wind, and those gases have different isotope ratios than terrestrial rocks. This chunk of the Moon is a lunar breccia; it contains lot of different fragments of

different lunar materials ‘cemented’ together as a result of the pressure and heat generated from repeated impacts on the lunar surface. The prominent white clasts seen is anorthite, which is very rare on Earth but not on the Moon. The scientist who did the analysis, Dr. Anthony Irving, has an international reputation for classifying meteorites.

NWA 12691 looks exceedingly similar to some of the Moon rocks returned to Earth by the Apollo missions. The cut and polished surface of this pocket-sized specimen reveals angular shards of signature anorthite adrift in dark lunar regolith. The highly textured reverse reveals the same but not with the same resolution as its polished counterpart. Now offered is one of the rarest objects on Earth…the Moon.

27 x 40 x 9mm (1 x 1.5 x 0.33 in.) 15.38 grams (76.5 carats)

NWA 12691—a squared-off slice of the moon’s surface

This specimen is extremely similar to the previous lot. As one might expect, NWA 12691 looks exceedingly similar to some of the Moon rocks returned to Earth by NASA’s Apollo missions. Angular shards of signature anorthite of all sizes are suspended in dark lunar regolith. The breccia seen is the result of the ongoing pulverization of the Moon from repeated asteroid impacts until one such impact ejected this piece of the Moon off into space. Only a bit finds its way to Earth; there are less than 1000 kilograms of lunar meteorites known to exist and all would fit in the back of a pick-up truck. Moon rocks

are identified by textural, chemical, isotopic and mineralogical datapoints. As it regards minerals, the prominent white clasts seen in this partial slice is anorthite, which is very rare on Earth but not on the Moon. This is a nearly-square partial slice of the Moon.

Large-format slice of the exotic Aletai meteorite

9939. Aletai Meteorite Large Slice. Iron meteorite, medium octahedrite – IIIE-AN, Xinjiang, China

The exotic Aletai meteorite landed in the northwest corner of China not far from the border of Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan. Aletai is an anomalous iron meteorite and this is a breathtaking large complete slice.

This otherworldly lattice is the result of the molecules of the different alloys having enough time to orient into their crystalline structure. Nickel-iron crytals require a cooling curve of millions of years and as such a circumstance does not come remotely close to occurring on or near Earth’s surface, this pattern is diagnostic in the identification of a meteorite. As a result of variances in meteorites from different meteorite groups exhibit different patterns. If you move this slice around in the light, the lathes of the alloys reflect light differently resulting in a lively presentation.

Aletai contains the most gold of any other meteorite in its classification group, but before you get too excited gold is among

Aletai’s trace elements. Aletai also contains a relatively large amount of Iridium — the second densest element known. There is a lot more iridium in iron meteorites than what occurs on Earth, and the high abundance of iridium in the 65 millionyear-old KT boundary inspired scientists to wonder if it was a meteorite impact 65 million years ago that was responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs, thus providing the opportunity for the evolution of human life. As it further regards life, Aletai contains the phosphorus-rich mineral schreibersite which also does not occur on Earth too often. It is believed by many scientists that schreibersite — shipped to Earth via meteorites billions of years ago — was the primary source of phosphorus on Earth which helped to enable life itself to begin.

This is a fantastic large slice featuring an otherworldly mosaic pattern which is an exemplary display of an Aletai meteorite’s crystalline fingerprint.

Extraterrestrial olivine-rich slice of the aptly named Admire pallasite

9940. Admire Pallasite Meteorite Complete Slice. Stony Iron meteorite, pallasite – PAL, Lyon County, Kansas

So far, there is nothing more beautiful from outer space than a pallasite. Pallasites form at the core-mantle boundary of an asteroid where some of the mantle’s olivine mixes with the molten metal of the core. When an asteroid shatters into pieces following an impact with another asteroid, the interior section of the asteroid becomes liberated, and sometimes some chunks find their way to Earth. Olivine and crystals of peridot (which is gem quality olivine and the birthstone of August) are featured in this slice. While meteorites are very rare, pallasites are far more rare still. All the world’s meteorites weigh less than the world’s annual output of gold and pallasites represent less

than 1% of all meteorites.

In 1881, the first two masses of the Admire pallasite were discovered while plowing a field in Lyon County, Kansas. Meteorite hunters returned to the site relatively recently and many more specimens have since been found. This large complete slice contains extraterrestrial olivine and peridot of all sizes embedded the iron-nickel matrix originating from an asteroid’s core. One side is highly polished while the side of this superlative specimen is etched.

Erg Chech 007—a rare anomalous pallasite slice

9941. Erg Chech 007 Pallasite Meteorite Slice. Stony

Iron meteorite, anomalous pallasite – PAL-ANOM, Erg Chech Sand Sea, Algeria

While this is similar to the previous lot in that both are pallasites, there is far less Erg Chech 007 than Admire and it has a special classification. It was classified as being anomalous as its elemental composition doesn’t fit neatly into any other known group. The slice now offered originates from a mass discovered in the Algeria’s Erg Chech Sand Sea. Despite a relentless search for more specimens, only one specimen weighing just eight kilograms was found.

Of the 71,000 different meteorites documented in scientific literature, only 160 are pallasites — the most beautiful extraterrestrial substance known. There are three broad classes of meteorites: STONES (which come from the crust and mantle of asteroids and the planet Mars), IRONS (which come from the core of asteroids that broke apart) and STONY IRONS (a combination of the two — and in the case of pallasites, they

originate from the mantle/core boundary of an asteroid that broke apart and no longer exists).

When an asteroid breaks into pieces after a catastrophic collision with another asteroid, the interior section of the asteroid becomes liberated, and sometimes some chunks find their way to Earth. Olivine and crystals of peridot (gem quality olivine and the birthstone of August) are present in the current offering.

In this complete slice — one side of which is polished while the other is etched — rounded crystals of amber-hued extraterrestrial olivine and peridot are suspended in a metallic matrix which originated from the core of an asteroid which no longer exists. And while speaking of no longer existing, because this slice originates from a small single mass, Erg Chech 007 will soon be off the market, and this is an excellent example of the most beautiful extraterrestrial substance known.

Complete Gibeon meteorite—a nickel-rich individual discovered in Namibia

9942. Gibeon Meteorite Complete Individual. Iron meteorite, fine octahedrite – IVA, Great Nama Land, Namibia

Gibeon iron meteorites are the bounty of a huge meteorite shower that occurred approximately ten thousand years ago. They originate from the molten core of an asteroid which was liberated as a result of a catastrophic impact with another asteroid. The shattered remains are primarily found in the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars, but some of the chunks went flying in different directions and a few found themselves on different routes to Earth. A journey of millions of years in interplanetary space ensued, and what were to become Gibeon meteorites slammed into Earth’s upper atmosphere before exploding and showering down in what is now Namibia, at the edge of the Kalahari Desert. From an analysis of their chemical compositions, we know Gibeon and Muonionalusta meteorites are from the same parent body, but Muonionalusta arrived on Earth a million years ago. There is a likelihood that other masses from the same parent body arrived tens or hundreds of millions of years earlier, but those meteorites would have disintegrated due to their exposure to weather and the oxidizing agents in Earth’s soil.

Local tribesmen located the specimen now offered with the aid of a metal detector, a method not available to earlier generations who utilized meteorite fragments seen on the ground to fashion tools and weapons. Due to its relatively high nickel content (8%) Gibeon is ductile and not as prone to oxidizing as most other iron meteorites. If this meteorite were cut, which should never be the case as it’s a fine aesthetic example, its internal crystalline structure would be the same as the matrix seen in the next lot. Blanketed in a deep chocolate patina with mango accents, a multitude of furrows and ridges animate this engaging meteorite. Accompanied by a custom armature.

Rare, two-pound NWA 12691 moon meteorite mass— a large lunar fragment with iron inclusion

9943. NWA 12691 Lunar Meteorite Mass with Iron. Moon rock, lunar feldspathic breccia, North West Africa

This specimen is extremely similar to the other lunar meteorites offered: it’s part of the NWA 12691 event — but larger.

Meteorites are rare; the weight of every meteorite known is less than the world’s annual output of gold. Lunar meteorites, i.e., pieces of the Moon ejected off the Moon’s surface as a result of an asteroid impact — and nearly all of the craters on the Moon are the result of such impacts — are far more rare still. There are less than 1000 kilograms of lunar meteorites known to exist and all would fit in the back of a pick-up truck. A good deal of this material is untouchable to the public as it’s in museums and research institutions. Every milligram of the nearly 400 kilograms of Moon rocks returned to Earth from NASA’s Apollo missions are also off-limits to the public.

Scientists are readily able to identify Moon rocks by analyzing a rock’s texture, mineralogy, chemistry and isotopes. Moon rocks also contain gases from the solar wind, and those gases have different isotope ratios than terrestrial rocks. This chunk of the Moon is a lunar breccia, which means it contains lot of different fragments of different lunar materials ‘cemented’ together as a result of the pressure and heat generated from repeated impacts on the lunar surface. The prominent white clasts seen is anorthite, which is very rare on Earth but not on the Moon.

For a meteorite to be “official” it must be published in the Meteoritical Bulletin, the scientific journal of record. The scientist who did the analysis of this lunar sample, Dr. Anthony Irving, has an international reputation for classifying meteorites, but

prior to publication his analysis must first be peer reviewed by scientists on the Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society before coming up with a name. Meteorites are named after the places from where they are recovered, a geological feature or name of a town or county, but if found in the desert where there are no features, meteorites are given the names of the delimited desert grid where it was found followed by a sequential number. So, NWA 12691 is the 12,691st meteorite to be recovered, analyzed and approved for publication recovered from the North West African zone of the Sahara Desert.

NWA 12691 is extremely similar to some of the Moon rocks returned to Earth by Apollo missions. Angular shards of signature anorthite of all sizes are adrift in dark lunar regolith. The breccia seen is the result of the ongoing pulverization of the Moon from repeated asteroid impacts until one such impact ejected this piece off the Moon into space. This specimen features a rarity: a centimeter-sized highly magnetic globule of iron from one such impactor protruding from its side. Among the rarest objects on Earth, this is a quintessential specimen of the Moon.

Attractive slice of a Gibeon meteorite, exhibiting a crystalline iron grid

This slice is from a meteorite that billions of years ago was part of the core of an asteroid whose shattered remains are mostly found in the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars — but some made it to Earth (and some to the Moon, which explains the iron inclusions seen in some Moon rocks). Gibeon meteorites fell at the edge the Kalahari Desert in Namibia thousands of years ago.

The cut surface reveals a crystalline intergrowth which does not appear in terrestrial iron ores, so its presence is diagnostic

of iron meteorites. This otherworldly grid is the result of the molecules of two different iron-nickel minerals: kamacite and taenite having enough time — a cooling curve of millions of years — to organize into their crystalline habit. When rotated this slice appears to shimmer. A few signature inclusions of troilite (iron sulfide) are seen and its rim is the natural exterior of the meteorite. Featuring a Gibeon meteorite’s resplendent otherworldly grid, this is an engaging slice of an iron meteorite from outer space.

rare on Earth but not on the Moon, which are suspended in dark lunar regolith (i.e., lunar soil comprised of pulverized rocks including some volcanic glass, which melted following an asteroid impact and subsequently hardened).

Interlocking Camp del Cielo meteorite specimens— from the legendary ‘Valley of the Sky’ event

9946. Campo del Cielo Interlocking Meteorite. Iron meteorite, coarse octahedrite – IAB, Gran Chaco, Argentina

Few cosmic impacts during our planet’s tumultuous history are as legendary as the Campo del Cielo (“Valley of the Sky”) event. Approximately 5,600 years ago what was the core of an asteroid between Mars and Jupiter rained down over what is now Argentina. The fireball had a long and shallow flight path, as evidenced by the lengthy elliptical strewn field. The larger masses formed craters and over twenty have been documented. Although it’s likely prehistoric inhabitants of the area used the metallic surface fragments for tools or weapons, Campo del Cielo first entered the history books in 1576 when invading Spanish Conquistadors made note of the existence of an abundant valley of iron. It might be noted the first meteorite at the British Museum of Natural History was a Campo del Cielo.

Iron meteorites like this offering are from the core of an asteroid that exploded apart following an impact with another asteroid. This particular offering, however, is a most unusual example which evocatively conveys ‘the ties that bond.’ To explain, in the course of their formation, iron meteorites experience long cooling curves which provides enough time for its molecules to orient into their crystalline habits, and this specimen happens to be two interlocking crystals. While there is a little bit of wiggle room between them, they are not going anywhere without one another because they are made of what is essentially extraterrestrial steel. This wonderfully engaging offering, which has a bright chrome patina with charcoal hued recesses, is accompanied by a magnetic armature so it can be oriented as you prefer…with the understanding these two intertwined specimens from outer space will always travel as one.

A link between past and present—sphere-shaped Libyan Desert Glass impactite

Libyan Desert Glass (“LDG”) is a natural glass formed as the result of an asteroid impact approximately 28.5 million years ago which liquified; some molten desert sand even splashed into the air. It’s the extraordinary heat that results from such impacts that liquefied the sand which was quenched into glass.

Silicate glass formations that result from such impacts are referred to as tektites. Like meteorites, tektites are named after the places where found, hence moldavite (from the Moldau River Region), philippinite, Libyan Desert Glass, etc. The greater

the percentage of silica the lighter the color. Moldavite has approximately 80% silica and is dark green; LDG is typically almost entirely silica and is yellow. Specimens of LDG were fashioned into tools during the Pleistocene epoch and are frequently used in jewelry applications today. An early example of the latter is that the scarab beetle of King Tut’s pectoral pendant was a carving of LDG. Providing links between an asteroid from interplanetary space impacting Earth, the melting of Sahara sands and a fascination with these strange glass forms throughout civilizations, now offered is a translucent sphere fashioned from a larger piece of an impact glass.

A superb complete slice of an alluring meteorite — the best specimens of Aba Panu specimens feature two lithologies, as seen in the current example. Metallic flakes originating from the core of an asteroid are suspended throughout the matrix.

Aba Panu descended to Earth before fragmenting in the upper atmosphere on April 19, 2018. Numerous stones landed between the Nigerian villages of Ipapo and Tede — including Aba Panu, for which this was named. The incoming fireball’s velocity was determined to have been nearly 13 miles per second prior to encountering Earth’s outer atmosphere.

Aba Panu is classified as an L3.6 chondrite, the “L” indicates it is relatively low in free metal and the “3.6” indicates it is largely unmetamorphosed as a result of having experienced little heating and pressure on its parent body. There are only 13 other L3 witnessed falls, none of which are readily available and now offered is an engaging complete slice.

Splendid partial slice of Maslyanino, a silicated iron meteorite

It was on May 25, 1992, that a single 26 kilogram mass was found by an agronomist outside the town of Maslyanino, a few hour drive from the Mongolian border. Additional material has since been recovered by enterprising meteorite hunters. IAB complex meteorites contain angular silicate inclusions which have similarities with two other types of meteorites: chondrites and winonaites. While the metal in IAB meteorites originates from the core of an asteroid which broke apart, scientists believe portions of the core subsequently experienced a further impact with a chondritic body which would explain the silicate inclusions now seen.

With two long edges of the meteorite’s external surface, one side of this partial slice is polished while the other evidences its crystalline structure. On both sides of the specimen lamellae of kamacite, taenite, and schreibersite are in evidence. Amongst the darker and angular silicate inclusions — which include olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, plagioclase, apatite, merrillite, chromite, and graphite — globules of lighterhued troilite (iron-sulfide) provide further accenting. This is a splendid partial slice of a silicated iron meteorite.

A very partial slice— abstract cut-out piece of a Gibeon meteorite

It requires millions of years for the two major iron-nickel alloys of iron meteorites — kamacite and taenite — to crystallize into the latticework seen…and only about a day or two to cut out the knife blades and circular flats from what was at one time a complete slice of a Gibeon meteorite. The overwhelming majority of meteorites are extremely prosaic, non-descript masses; most people would never think twice about walking past these extraterrestrial interlopers. However, as the crystalline matrix of many iron meteorites entrance, it’s the

within that’s celebrated and thus we have slices, obelisks, pyramids, spheres, watch faces, knives, etc. The latticework seen in this partial slice is a choice example of a Gibeon meteorite’s fingerprint — which is precisely why it was selected for the fabrication of the knives. And what was left of this slice after the punches were made is in itself a fascinating specimen of the crystallized core of an asteroid — an abstract form that would be fragile were it not made of what is ostensibly extraterrestrial steel.

Slab of Seymchan meteorite featuring extraterrestrial gemstones and chromite

Representing less than 0.2% of all known meteorites, pallasites are the most beautiful extraterrestrial substance known. Like all pallasites, Seymchan formed at the boundary of the stony mantle and molten iron core of an asteroid that was obliterated following a collision with another asteroid. The crystals of olivine and peridot (gem-quality olivine and the birthstone of August) are the result of chunks of the stony mantle becoming encircled by the metal of the asteroid’s metallic core. The materials then cooled and crystallized. The prominent metallic latticework seen is referred to as a Widmanstätten pattern. It is evidence of a slow cooling rate that provided sufficient

time — millions of years — for two metallic alloys to orient into their crystalline structure.

This slab contains a thick edge of the meteorite’s natural exterior surface and four cut surfaces revealing its otherworldly metallic lattice. An inclusion of chromite is in evidence along with schreibersite, which many researchers believe was the primary source of phosphorus to enable life, which was delivered to Earth via meteorites billions of years ago. From the core of an asteroid and older than Earth itself, this engaging specimen which fits in a child’s palm has it all.

NWA 7214—complete, glittery slice of metal-rich aubrite

Highly sought-after by both researchers and collectors, Aubrites represent just 0.1% of all meteorites. There are only 10 witnessed aubrite falls, a legendary group of some of the more preeminent and difficult-to-obtain meteorites known: Aubres, Cumberland Falls, Khor Temeki, Mayo Belwa, Bustee, Bishopville, Shallowater, Pena Blanca Spring, Norton County and Tiglit.

The specimen now offered is not a witnessed fall, but it’s the next best thing: in the Meteoritical Bulletin the weathering grade W0/1 has been ascribed to NWA 7214 in its classifica-

tion, which indicates it’s pristine. This is the closest one can get to owning an aubrite witnessed fall, without the challenge of trying to obtain and pay the high price of a witnessed fall.

Aubrites have the highest cosmic ray exposure ages of any stony meteorite. They are primarily composed of enstatite and are believed to originate from the asteroid 3103 Eger, a near-Earth Asteroid that spectroscopically bears a striking semblance to aubrites. This exemplary complete slice is filled with grains of metal scattered throughout its blue-grey matrix.

Seymchan meteorite polished to reveal its internal structure

9943. Seymchan Meteorite with Polished Face. Stony Iron meteorite, transitional pallasite – PAL, Magadan District, Siberia, Russia

Pallasites are the most beautiful extraterrestrial substance known. They form within an asteroid at the interface of its mantle and molten metallic core. A catastrophic impact with another asteroid is required to liberate this deepseated material — a tiny bit of which finds its way to Earth. As one might imagine, samples from such a narrowly constrained region are extremely rare and, indeed, pallasites represent only about 0.2% of all known meteorites.

Pallasites are named after 18thcentury scientist Peter Pallas (an honor Pallas is most fortunate to have received, as he never accepted the fact the strange boulder he came upon and documented was extraterrestrial).

Discovered in 1967, Seymchan is found in the Magadan District of Siberia. While Seymchan meteorites have been among the more widely available pallasites in recent years, those days have come to an end; following repeated visits over decades, meteorite hunters have exhausted most of the extant material. Moreover, traveling to this remote region is an expensive undertaking — as is the extraction and subsequent transportation of any meteorites found. In 2021 Russia’s most industrious meteorite recovery enterprise indicated it was not returning to Seymchan as it was no longer worth it.

This unusual planar-shaped specimen resulted from having split along crystalline planes. It is covered in a natural earthen patina except where the face of the meteorite was abraded to reveal its internal structure. Polished to a mirror finish, resplendent crystals of olivine and peridot are seemingly suspended in the iron-nickel matrix. From the core of an asteroid and older than Earth, this is a fascinating, novel presentation of a pallasitic meteorite. Accompanied by a custom armature.

Large fragment of a Mars rock—Gadamis 001

9954. Gadamis 001 Mars Meteorite. Martian meteorite, shergottite – SNC, Gadamis, Libya

More rare than diamonds or gold, meteorites from Mars are among the most exotic substances on Earth with less than 350 kg (770 lbs) known to exist — and, as would be expected, there is less Mars on Earth than the Moon (about 25% as much). For many reasons, scientists long imagined an esoteric group of unusual meteorites with similar features were planetary in origin, and it was thought these meteorites were either from Venus or Mars. Scientists speculated an asteroid impact must have ‘kicked’ some of the material off one of these planets, and as Mars has a weaker gravitational field and thinner atmosphere then Venus — which meant less energy would be required to eject the specimens off the Martian surface — it was reasoned these strange meteorites had to be from Mars.

And then there was proof! A suspected Martian meteorite contained impact glass and researchers determined that within the glass there were tiny bubbles, and within these tiny bubbles were tiny amounts of gas. The gas was analyzed and it matched perfectly with the signature of the Martian atmosphere, which we learned about as a result of NASA’s Viking space probes which were sent to Mars in the mid 1970s.

This specimen has been authenticated by scientists of the Meteoritical Society — the foremost organization of meteorite researchers in the world — as being a Martian basalt, which is to say it’s a type of lava composed of olivine, pyroxene and feldspar in the form of maskelynite. As tremendous amounts of heat and pressure are required for maskelynite to form, this is consistent with an impact event on Mars which would explain the delivery mechanism of this specimen to Earth.

This specimen was found by desert nomads in April 2019 and is exceedingly fresh. The exterior surface is covered in fusion crust — the result of frictional heating as the meteorite burned through Earth’s atmosphere at the end of its interplanetary travels. The cut and polished face reveals a large-grained diabasic texture with clinopyroxene, lathes of maskelynite with small amounts of merrillite, apatite, ilmenite and pyrrhotite. As a result of previous research, with great confidence the presence of Martian atmosphere can be inferred in the pockets of shock melt. Accompanied by a custom armature, this is a choice specimen of the planet Mars.

89 x 69 x 52mm (3.5 x 2.75 x 2 in.) and 338.6 grams (0.75 lbs)

Spearpoint from space—a uniquely displayed example of iron-nickel Seymchan pallasite

While Seymchan is classified as a pallasite, unlike the vast majority of other pallasitic meteorites, the dispersion of olivine crystals in Seymchan is extremely heterogeneous. Some specimens of Seymchan are olivine rich and some are olivine poor; some specimens have no olivine whatsoever. The spearpoint now offered is an example of the latter. The meteorite from which this spearpoint was fabricated originated from the iron-nickel core of an asteroid that once existed between Mars and Jupiter. For this sample to have been liberated from the surrounding mantle and crust, this planetary body had to have broken apart, most probably following a collision with another asteroid. This specimen originates from a meteorite that was part of a massive meteorite shower that occurred in

the Magadan District of Siberia, the locality of Stalin’s infamous gulags. A prominent Widmanstätten pattern in evidence; this latticework is indicative of a slow cooling rate that provided sufficient time — millions of years — for the molecules of the two most dominant metallic alloys to form the intricate intergrowth now seen. This pattern is diagnostic in the identification of an iron meteorite and meteorites from different parent bodies exhibit different patterns. Seymchan meteorites, which are unusually resistant to oxidation, are renowned for one of the most robust crystalline patterns, and this character is much in evidence in this spearpoint superbly fashioned by an expert artisan. Originating from between Jupiter and Mars, this recently fashioned spearpoint is accompanied by a wood base.

13885—complete slice of a rock from Mars

Infinitely more rare than diamonds or gold, meteorites from Mars are among the most exotic substances on Earth with less than 350 kg (770 lbs) known to exist, all of which could easily fit in the trunk of a large car. Scientists long suspected a group of meteorites with similarly unusual features had a planetary origin which wasn’t Earth, and it was believed these meteorites were either from Venus or Mars. Researchers correctly speculated an asteroid impact must have ‘kicked’ some of the material off one of the other planets, and as a result of the weaker gravity and thinner atmosphere of Mars (which meant less energy would be required to eject the specimens off the Martian surface), it was reasoned these unusual meteorites originated from the planet Mars.

The gas was analyzed and it matched perfectly with the signature of the Martian atmosphere, which we learned about as a result of NASA’s Viking space probes which were sent to Mars in the mid 1970s.

NWA 13885 has been authenticated by scientists of the Meteoritical Society—the foremost organization of meteorite researchers in the world. The cut and polished surface evidences coarse crystals with orange-brown olivine phenocrysts set in a light green-brown groundmass. A prominent vein of shock melt near the right margin extends longitudinally. This meteorite is primarily composed of pyroxene, olivine, ilmenite, chromite, troilite and the impact glass maskelynite, which is unknown to occur on Earth except in meteorites. As tremendous amounts of heat and pressure are required for maskelynite to form, this is consistent with a massive impact event on Mars which would explain the delivery mechanism of NWA 13885 to Earth.

This is an exemplary slice of a rock from the planet Mars.

NWA 12767—partial slice of a singular meteorite from a previously unknown asteroid

A piece of meteorite exotica: NWA 12767, the 12,767th meteorite to be recovered from the North West African grid of the Sahara Desert to be analyzed by a team of scientists and peer reviewed prior to publication in the scientific journal of record, the Meteoritical Bulletin.

NWA 12767 originates from the core of an asteroid that no

longer exists. Given its compositional anomalies, it was classified as being ungrouped, which is to say it’s the sole sample from a previously unknown asteroid. The mass from which this partial slice was removed weighed only 6.3 kilograms when found, and specimens from this mass may well forever be the only representations of this singularly rare meteorite which looks like no other meteorite known.

NWA 5717 meteorite— the raw ingredients of the planets

9958. NWA 5717 Meteorite End Wedge. Stone meteorite, chondrite ungrouped – CH-UNGR, subtype 3.05, Western Sahara

NWA 5717 provides a rare peek at the raw ingredients of solid planetary bodies, and this explains the article on NWA 5717 in a Journal of the Lunar and Planetary Conference entitled “The Extra-Ordinary Chondrite: NWA 5717.”

Most meteorites are ordinary chondrites (stone meteorites with silica-rich spherular inclusions called chondrules — droplets which condensed out of the gaseous solar nebula which stuck together and formed the solid planets. The vast majority of all chondrites experienced some degree of metamorphoses — their texture (and at times mineralogy) modified as a result of exposure to heat and pressure. This is not the case with NWA 5717 — the 5717th meteorite to be classified after being found in the North West African (NWA) sector of the Sahara Desert. Unlike nearly all meteorites, NWA 5717 is nearly unchanged since the time of its formation.

In addition, of the tens of thousands of chondritic meteorites known to exist, there are only a few that do not fit into the conventional categories of classification. Because they are so unusual they have received the honorific classification “CHUNGR” to indicate they’re ungrouped — they’re not readily classifiable. NWA 5717 belongs to this club as well and its chemical fingerprint informs us it originated from a previously unfamiliar parent body.

NWA 5717 is rarely available. This specimen has three cut faces and the rounded exterior is 90% covered in fusion crust — the result of burning through Earth’s atmosphere. For the more serious collector, this is a sample of some of the most primitive planetary material known.

9959. Ramlat as Sahmah 514 Meteorite. 1.8kg L5 Chondrite

Whole stone, with small corner cut off for classification analysis

Classified in Meteoritical Bulletin, no. 105

Discovered on April 18, 2014, Ramlat as Sahmah 514 is a beautiful reddish meteorite with a glassy coat with indentations and an exposed vesicle. The meteorite was found in Al Wusta, Oman (Latitude: 20°26.258’N, Longitude: 55°47.905’E). The D08 painted on in white is for the “D” meteorite-hunting trip and specimen number “08” for this particular find. Of the 1,820g total weight of this celestial stone, a corner has been cut off, revealing the interior, to be sent for chemical classification at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin. From chemical analysis, it was determined to be an L5 chondrite.

Unlike planetary bodies with a differentiated mantle and core, this meteorite contains iron–nickel as a free metal, making it magnetic.

The L chondrite meteors may have their origin in the Ordovician meteor event, from a parent asteroid was catastrophically

disrupted by a large impact around 468 million years ago.

The chondrules in a chondrite are time capsules from when the planets of our solar system were forming. From Tim Gregory’s recent book, Meteorite: The Stones From Outer Space That Made Our World: ‘Billowing through the protoplanetary disc as a mass of brightly glowing droplets of lava, clouds of freshly sintered chondrule grains swarmed for five million years. Trillions upon trillions of chondrules, in numbers that far exceed the number of stars in the observable Universe, spiraled as gravitational vortices, and coalesced to build the asteroids and the planets. What a sight it must have been.’ (p.140)

‘Some of the grains come from other solar systems that popped like supernova firecrackers in our midst. The diamond and silicon carbide grains crystallized around other stars. They are pieces of bona fide stardust. Some pre-date the solar system by over three billion years! Tiny pieces of rock that are seven billion years old! The mind boggles. We call these most remarkable motes of cosmic sediment ‘pre-solar’ grains.’ (p.179). Starting Bid $200

Conditions of Sale

ANYONE EITHER REGISTERING TO BID OR PLACING A BID (“BIDDER”) ACCEPTS THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND ENTERS INTO A LEGALLY, BINDING, ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENT WITH R&R AUCTION COMPANY OF MASSACHUSETTS, LLC (“RR AUCTION”) TOGETHER WITH BIDDER, THE “PARTIES”).

This Agreement contains important provisions that control rights and liabilities, and specifically has provisions governing how disputes are handled as well as LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY that can be imposed upon RR Auction, WAIVER OF JURY and ARBITRATION PROVISIONS. This acknowledgement is a material term of these Conditions of Sale and of the consideration under which RR Auction agrees to these terms. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

The following terms and conditions (“Conditions of Sale”) constitute the sole terms and conditions under which RR Auction will offer for sale and sell the property on its website, and/or described in the catalog of items for auction (the “Catalog”). These Conditions of Sale constitute a binding agreement between the Parties with respect to the auction in which Bidder participates (the “Auction”). By bidding at the Auction, whether in person, through an agent or representative, by telephone, facsimile, online, absentee bid, or by any other form of bid or by any other means, Bidder acknowledges the thorough reading and understanding of all of these Conditions of Sale, all descriptions of items in the Catalog, and all matters incorporated herein by reference, and agrees to be fully bound thereby.

Section 1

The Parties1.1

RR Auction and Auction

This Auction is presented by RR Auction, a d/b/a/ of R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC, as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the Catalog or on the www.RRauction. com Internet site. The Auction is conducted under these Conditions of Sale. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog.

1.2 Bidder

Bidder shall mean the original Bidder on the property offered for sale by RR Auction and not any subsequent owner or other person who may acquire or have acquired an interest therein. If Bidder is an agent, the agency must be disclosed in writing to RR Auction prior to the time of sale, otherwise the benefits of the warranty shall be limited to the agent and not transferable to the undisclosed principal.

The rights granted to Bidder under these Conditions of Sale are personal and may not be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise without the express written assent of RR Auction. Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey these Conditions of Sale or any of the rights herein, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. No third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred on any Bidder by these Conditions of Sale, and no third party is intended as a beneficiary of these Conditions of Sale.

Bids will not be accepted from minor persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent or legal guardian’s written consent containing an acknowledgment of the Conditions of Sale herein and indicating their agreement to be bound thereby on behalf of the Bidder.

All Bidders must meet RR Auction’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of RR Auction may be disqualified at RR Auction’s sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by RR Auction in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. RR Auction reserves the right to exclude any person from the Auction.

If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid and

agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale in addition to company for whom the Bidder is acting

By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment.

Section 2 Bidding Privileges

2.1 In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established an account with RR Auction must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply additional information if requested, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders who are not members of RRAuction.com should pre-register before the close of the Auction to allow adequate time to contact references. Privileges will be granted at the sole discretion of RR Auction. Additionally, Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide a cash deposit prior to RR Auction’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: RRAuction.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the Auction venue.

2.2 Bidder providing any false or misleading information provided in connection with the registration shall be a material breach of the Conditions of Sale and in addition to any other remedies at law shall excuse RR Auction from performance under these Conditions of Sale, including the right to any refund.

2.2 Bidding privileges may be revoked without notice, for any reason, at the sole discretion of RR Auction .

Section 3 Buyer’s Premium

3.1 The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed and live Auctions. . For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is earlier. Bidder’s failure to pay any payment in full when due required shall constitute a material breach, and in addition to other damages available under contract or law, at RR Auction’s election, RR Auction may cancel the sale and require full premium still be due along with interest at 1.5% per month from the date of breach, or at the maximum legally allowable rate.

Section 4

Bidding

4.1 Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s) and independent investigation, rather than the any reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. Bidder affirms that it regards any statements made by RR Auction concerning the item as solely opinion and that Bidder is making its own inspection and independent evaluation of the goods, and is not relying upon any description or statements by RR Auction (including as to quality, authenticity, provenance, ownership, liens existing, on goods legality, or value) in making its determination to bid on or purchase an item. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

4.2 RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot,

even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

4.3 All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing. RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder.

4.4 Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Consignor, or assignee of Consignor, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by Bidder and Bidder has fully satisfied any outstanding financial obligations to RR Auction (including as it concerns aby other lots). RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder.

4.5 It is the Bidder’s responsibility and obligation to have the lots fully insured while in their possession. Bidder assumes any and all risk of loss upon the earlier of shipment to Bidder or in Bidder’s possession.

4.6 Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction a lien consisting of a senior security interest (or purchase money security interest to the extent applicable) in such sums or items to the fullest extent applicable, authorizes RR Auction to file documents concerning the interest, and Bidder agrees to execute any further documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest. Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued fees and expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

4.7 By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. The authorized representative of any corporate Bidder who is present at the sale shall provide RR Auction or its agent, prior to the commencement of the bidding (or at the time of registration), with a statement signed by a principal, director or officer that they he or she personally and unconditionally guarantees any payment due RR Auction.

4.8 RR Auction may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors and/or prospective Bidders.

Section 5

Bidding Options

5.1 Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to in-person, facsimile, phone and mail bids) are treated similarly to floor bids in that they must be on-increment. Any in-person, facsimile, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full increment and this revised amount will be considered Bidder’s high bid.

5.2 When identical bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at RR Auction’s place of business at least twenty-four (24) hours before the Auction start. RR Auction is not responsible for executing mail bids or facsimile bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is RR Auction responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins.

5.3 In all Auctions, bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10%, or as specified on a per-Auction basis. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted. In a live sale, bids on an item can change at the discretion of RR Auction.

5.4 RR Auction reserves the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced. Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless RR Auction directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). For live auctions, RR Auction will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. RR Auction will determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale,

or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

Section 6 Payment

6.1 Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than sixty (60) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder.

6.2 Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot.

6.3 All sales for total invoices greater than $1,000 are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders), and are subject to all reporting requirements.

6.4 All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in RR Auction’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. RR Auction reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten (10) calendar day hold, and ten (10) business days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via e-Check, personal or corporate checks.

6.5 In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If Bidder attempts to pay via check and the financial institution denies the transfer from Bidder’s bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, Bidder agrees to complete payment.

6.7 If RR Auction refers any unpaid invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay and shall be liable for RR Auction’s attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction in addition to the invoice amount and interest the greater of 1.5% per month or at the maximum legally allowable rate from date of invoice to collection. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys.

6.8 RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder (as well as to the extent it is a consignor any other monies owed or due to Bidder) to secure payment of the Auction invoice. RR Auction is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the Bidder then held by RR Auction or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due RR Auction or affiliates from the Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, RR Auction shall have all the rights of a secured creditor, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the Bidder waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against RR Auction and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice (the Consignor”). If a Bidder owes RR Auction or its affiliates on any account, RR Auction and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bid-

der’s property in their possession.

Section 8

Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges

Bidder is liable for shipping and handling and providing accurate information as to shipping or delivery locations and arranging for such. RR Auction is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction.

Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified Customs declarations, to RR Auction for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price and RR Auction shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Bidders on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs.

Section 9

Title

Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices of Bidder (including those pertaining to the item(s) at issue) and amounts owed to RR Auction are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.

Section 10

Rights Reserved

RR Auction reserves the right, at any time before, during or after an auction has ended to: withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction,

11.2 RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments. RR Auction has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auction has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful Bidder in the event of a dispute between Bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auctions record of final sale shall be conclusive. RR Auction also may reject any bid if RR Auction decides either that any bid is below the reserve of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced by RR Auction at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale.

11.3

Reserves

Lots may be subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. Consignors may not bid on their own lots or property. RR Auction may, from time to time, bid on items that it does not own. RR Auction may execute bids consecutively or otherwise up to one bid increment below the reserve.

11.4 Off-Site Bidding

Bidding by telephone, facsimile, online, or absentee bidding (advance written bids submitted by mail) are offered solely as a convenience and permitted subject to advance arrangements, availability, and RR Auction’s approval which shall be exercised at RR Auction’s sole discretion. Neither RR Auction nor its agents or employees shall be held liable for the failure to execute bids or for errors relating to any transmission or execution thereof. In order to be considered for off-site bidding in any manner, Bidders must comply with all of these Conditions of Sale and the terms contained on the Registration Form.

11.5 Estimate Prices:

In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 732-4280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading).

11.6 Owned or Guaranteed Property:

RR Auction generally offers property consigned by others for sale at public auction; in very limited occasion, lots are offered that are the property of RR Auction.

11.7 Before the Auction:

Bidder may attend pre-sale viewing for all of RR Auction’s auctions at no charge. All property to be auctioned is usually on view for several days prior to the sale. Bidder is encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. Bidder may also request condition reports (see below). RR Auction’s staff are available at viewings and by appointment.

11.8 Maximum Bids In All Auctions:

To maximize Bidder’s chance of winning, RR Auction strongly encourages the use of maximum bids. RR Auction will then bid for Bidder until the lot reaches Bidder’s specified maximum. Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, non-incremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the under

Section 7 Sales Tax

Bidder’s bid.

11.9 Successful Bids:

The fall of RR Auction’s hammer indicates the final bid. RR Auction will record the paddle number of the Bidder. If Bidder’s salesroom or absentee bid is successful, Bidder will be notified after the sale by mailed or emailed invoice.

11.10 Unsold Lots:

If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. RR Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.

11.11 Bidding in Timed Auction:

Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm EST/EDT, that lot is awarded to Bidder. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm EST/EDT will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm EST/EDT or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm EST/EDT, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm EST/EDT, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot (the “30 Minute Rule”). The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the Auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm EST/EDT. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the high Bidder, raising Bidder’s maximum bid will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the Auction at any time at its sole discretion.

11.12 Bidding - Internet Live Auction:

Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.

To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

During live internet or live auction, property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute a bid or bids (successively or otherwise) on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. All auctions for lots are with reserve unless specifically stated otherwise.

During live Auctions, internet bids can be placed in real time through one or more of the following Third Party services: www.liveauctioneers.com, www.invaluable.com and www.icollector.com. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. RR Auction treats any third-party site bids as floor or telephone bids. Floor bids and telephone bids are always considered first over third party sites bids, and floor bids are considered earlier than telephone bids. All RR Auction lots purchased through the third-party sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium.

11.13 Miscellaneous:

Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a non-sale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement.

Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with ”do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available.

11.14 Rules of Construction: RR Auction presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions. Nothing herein shall be construed to waive the general Conditions of Sale by these additional rules and shall be construed to give force and effect to the rules in their entirety.

Section 12 RR

Auction’s Remedies

Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of material breach or default. In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than

the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any Bidder’s property in RR Auction’s possession or to which title has not yet passed to Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Section 13

Warranties

13.1 RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold ”as is” and “where is”. By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) related to the item, or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

13.2 All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Terminology), authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in the Catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a good faith effort made by RR Auction to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein; they are statements of opinion only. They are not representations or warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the Auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices.

13.3 Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each lot prior to bidding, and RR Auction urges Bidders to avail themselves accordingly.

13.4 All lots sold by RR Auction are accompanied by an Auction Certificate (“AC”). On any lot presented with an AC issued by RR Auction, the certification is only as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage and only as explicitly stated therein (the “AC”), to the exclusion of any other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to those pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The AC inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the AC and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void.

Section 14

Firearms

RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm.

Section 15

Unauthorized Statements

Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR

Auction authorized by RR Auction to modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on a registration form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed Bidder and by an authorized officer of RR Auction by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied upon by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction.

Section 16

Bidder’s Remedies

16.1 Except as stated expressly herein, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy related to or pertaining to items it bids upon, views, or purchases from RR Auction, and any claims by Bidder related to authenticity, ownership, condition, title or value, shall be against Consignor only.

16.2 This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, officers, managers, employees or agents), or in any way arising out of, related to, or in connection with these Conditions of Sale, , and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law. Time is of the essence with respect to these procedures.

16.3 Title to Items

The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, satisfactory to the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction may make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other amounts paid or due to RR Auction). Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand (if any made), RR Auction may disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and may assign to Bidder all or some of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and/or assignment, all responsibility and liability of RR Auction, if any, with respect to said lot or item shall automatically terminate related to or arising from these Conditions of Sale or such transaction operating as a complete waiver and general release by Bidder as to RR Auction and its agents, contractors, and affiliates, as to any and all claims concerning or related to the item, if any . RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction by Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances.

16.4 Authenticity Challenge Process

(1) If Bidder wishes to dispute or challenge the Authenticity of the lot or item (including asserting that it is incorrect), Bidder must adhere to the following procedure: Within 30 days of the Auction Date, Bidder must present written evidence to RR Auction, that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field (and one recognized by RR Auction within its discretion) and send the physical item or lot at issue to RR Auction along with all evidence relied upon by Bidder for contesting the Authenticity. (“Authenticity Challenge Process”) “Authenticity” shall mean a gross discrepancy in the between the description, genuiness, or attribution of the item as represented by RR Auction in the Catalog or at the auction, and the item. If RR Auction concurs that the lot is not Authentic as was represented (it is sole discretion), Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, agents, employees, and contractors) shall be a refund of the purchase price of the subject item paid by Bidder, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable by Bidder. If RR Auction does not agree with the assertion by Bidder, then

the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale. Strict adherence to the Authenticity Challenge Process is a condition of standing for Bidder to initiate suit or claim.

(2) So long as Bidder has complied with the Authenticity Challenge Process, any claim, suit or action, by Bidder concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity, or related to the authenticity of the item must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Auction Date and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

16.5 Other Issues. Any dispute or claim by Bidder against RR Auction (or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors)) other than Authenticity, concerning any item or lot bid upon, or purchased, including value, title, condition, bidding process, or description must be asserted (if at all) in the following manner:

(1) If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially or grossly incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), or there is any other gross material issue pertaining to the item or lot, the item or lot may be returned if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date with explanation in writing.. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and a certificate of auction, then the description in the certificate of auction (“Lot Challenge Process”). This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received by RR Auction within the period of time stated herein or not materially or grossly in deviation from the description. Such a refund is subject to RR Auction’s sole discretionary review, and any request for refund must be made concurrently with returning the physical item or lot to RR Auction. Any item not returned within said frame will constitute acceptance of the item and a waiver and release of any and all claims by Bidder pertaining to the item other than with respect to authenticity; and

(2) Provided that the Bidder has engaged in the Lot Challenge Process, any claim concerning such must be brought no later than one (1) year of the Auction Date for the item or lot at issue and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED OR PROVIDED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BIDDERS OR AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SUCH SHALL BE A COMPLETE DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIMS BY BIDDER RELATED TO THE CONDITIONS OF SALE, ANY AUCTION OR BID.

16.6 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. For any and all claims by Bidder arising out of or related to this Agreement, Bidder’s viewing, bid, or purchase of items, or any agreement between the Parties, or otherwise, Bidder agrees that to the fullest extent such can be limited under the law, Bidder shall have no right to recover and hereby waives any and all rights to recover from against RR Auction or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors, consequential or indirect damages, lost profits damages, punitive, exemplary, statutory (or multiplier damages), physical or emotional distress damages, general or special damages of any kind (beyond amounts actually paid by Bidder for item(s) at issue), and in the event of recovery of any damages whatsoever, such shall be limited by the amounts actually paid by Bidder to RR Auction for the item(s) at issue in such claim, or if no money was paid to RR Auction by Bidder for items at issue, or there items are at issue, the amount of $150.00.

Section 17

RR Auction’s Additional Services

For Bidders who do not remove purchased property from RR Auction’s premises, RR Auction, in its sole discretion and solely as a service and accommodation to Bidders, may arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded at the sole request, expense, and risk of Bidder. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for dam-

age to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice, RR Auction will include an administration charge.

They may not be amended, modified or superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties.

20.6 The Bidder hereby agrees that RR Auction shall be entitled to present these Conditions of Sale to a court in any jurisdiction other than set forth in this paragraph as conclusive evidence of the Parties agreement, and the Parties further agree that the court shall immediately dismiss any action filed in such jurisdiction.

20.7 Liquidated Damages for Specific Breaches

In the event that Bidder provides false information in connection with registering for bidding, fails to correct or update information or breaches the Conditions of Sale by failing to pay the purchase price when due after becoming the winning bidder, as liquidated damages associated with such breaches, R&R may obtain from Bidder the greater of (1) 150% the reserve of the item (if any); (2) the amount bidder bid; or (3), the full amount that bidder would have otherwise paid. Bidder will also be liable for an additional 20% of such amount to account for additional administrative costs, shipping, additional advertising, and other damages and liabilities fees that are difficult to calculate on an item-by-item basis.

20.8 Indemnity. Bidder agrees to defend, indemnify, hold harmless RR Auction (along with its officers, directors, agents, contractors, and affiliates) from and against any and all claims, costs, fees, damages, and liabilities arising out of or related to these Conditions of Sale, view of items, or lots, bidding, or participation in any auction by RR Auction, and/or or in any way connected to any item you viewed, bid upon or purchased through RR Auction.

Section 21: State-by-State Law Issues

This Auction is being conducted in and the sale shall take place in the State of Massachusetts. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, should these terms and conditions violate the law of any State should that state’s law be found to govern, or any provision herein determined to be invalid, the

clause itself and the remainder of the Agreement shall be valid to the fullest extent allowed. Also, to the extent other states law apply to any transaction arising out of the Agreement (without admitting such), RR Auction states:

For Residents of California:

SALE OF AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLES: AS REQUIRED BY LAW, A DEALER WHO SELLS TO A CONSUMER ANY COLLECTIBLE DESCRIBED AS BEING AUTOGRAPHED MUST PROVIDE A WRITTEN EXPRESS WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF SALE. THIS DEALER MAY BE SURETY BONDED OR OTHERWISE INSURED TO ENSURE THE AUTHENTICITY OF ANY AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLE SOLD BY THIS DEALER.

A written express warranty is provided with each autographed collectible, as required by law. This dealer may be surety bonded or otherwise insured to ensure the authenticity of any autographed collectible sold by this dealer.

Section 22 Glossary of Condition terms

Information provided to prospective Bidders with respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by RR Auction.

Use of the following terms constitutes an opinion as follows:

VERY FINE describes an item believed to be in virtually flawless condition, and is used sparingly for items of exceptionally attractive appearance.

FINE is the most common statement of condition, and applies to most items that we offer. It describes items that we believe to show expected handling wear, generally acceptable random flaws (such as light creases, small bends, etc.), and an overall appearance that is pleasing to the majority of collectors.

VERY GOOD describes an item that we believe exhibits more moderate flaws (such as toning, light staining, professional reinforcements or repairs, etc.). Most collectors would be comfortable with items in very good condition, and this would be the expected condition for many formats (early presidential documents, for example).

GOOD describes an item which we believe to have obvious visible flaws, including heavy wear, missing portions, or repairs that affect appearance; generally items in this condition are offered only if an item is otherwise believed to be exceedingly rare or important.

Bidder may call and request further details and information about RR Auction’s opinions concerning any item via phone or email which shall provided in RR Auction’s discretion.

Certificate of Auction, Certificate of Authenticity and Goods Acquired:

Bidder warrants that Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall not purposely deface, destroy, dismember, cut-up into parts the item or Lot purchased at auction from RR Auction and in the event such shall occur whether purposefully or accidently, Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall refrain from advertising, promoting, or marketing the item as having been purchased from RR Auction and shall in no event display, expressly claim, or imply that the item was certified or auctioned in such state by RR Auction. As liquidated damages for such breach, Bidder agrees to be liable to RR Auction for the greater of the amount of three (3) times the hammer price of the item along with all other fees and costs as otherwise provided in this Terms of Sale.
