The identification plate of Neil Armstrong's Apollo 11 spacecraft sells for $ 468 G at auction
The personal collection of memories of Neil Armstrong has taken flight.
The collector items that belonged to the first man who stepped on the moon were sold at a recent auction held by the auction house Heritage Auctions, based in Dallas.
The company celebrated its "Space collection collection auction" Thursday through Saturday, which included items from the Armstrong Family Collection.
Heritage Auctions says its identification plate on the lunar module of the Apollo 11 lunar module cost $ 468,500, making it the best-selling item.
The company offered details about the article in a online listing.
"Three of these Lunar Module 5 Identification Plates flew to the moon in Apollo 11 and were returned to Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp," Heritage Auctions explained. "They then mounted each identification plate on a wall plate and one was presented to each crew member."

Armstrong, who died in 2012, joined the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969 by astronauts Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin.
A flag of the United States that the astronaut took with him to the moon, meanwhile, was for $ 275,000.
The memorabilia that belonged to Armstrong and that were not part of the famous mission were also presented at the auction.

One of those items, the flight suit that Armstrong carried aboard the Gemini 8, the 1966 mission that performed the first docking of two spacecraft in flight, gave the astronaut's family $ 109,375.
Another, Armstrong's Hasselblad 500C camera from 1970, sold for $ 25,000, by the auction house.
"The total total sale brought in more than $ 7.4 million," Eric Bradley, director of public relations at Heritage Auctions, told Fox News in an email. "Only Armstrong's items brought in more than $ 5.2 million."
Fans can bid for more Armstrong items in two auctions scheduled for May and November 2019, the auction house said in July.
