It all started with SDASM museum curators taking apart an exhibition to give space for a new one. One of the objects had no tag and there was no paperwork or any record about its provenance. Object was photographed, measured and entered into the museum collection database as an “unidentified object” with the following description: “Object is a silver rectangle with a zipper and resembles a bag, back pack, or seat cover. Object has the number ‘59’ written in black marker on the top and bottom of both sides. Object has the name ‘Neil Armstrong’ stamped on one side with seven circular and rectangular cut outs. Interior of the object is green.”
