Collection of three flown film fragments from the lunar surface, filmed during the Apollo 13 mission. Affixed to a certificate of authenticity; numbered 6/30.
These fragments are from the collection of Dick Underwood and are from film magazines II, JJ, and R.

The segments are from film used to document the mission including serious damage to the service module, the improvised adaption of the LiOH canister in the LM, the flyby of the moon, and the jettisoning of the Lunar Module (lifeboat).
Each film; height: 1/2 in x width: 1/2 in.
