Lot 548		Apollo Program, 196? Lunar Lander Training Vehicle Autographed Presentation Photo. This is the original definitive and iconic autographed LLTV photo seen as an engraved image. The piece consists of a color photo of the LLTV (13.5x11", slightly faded) mounted on a framed presentation mat (21x17").
