<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tall Paul, post: 25385058, member: 114635&quot;]Below is a Fliteline medallion that was on the first manned flight of the Gemini program. The astronauts commissioned medals for all of their flights and in fact medals are still being created and carried to the ISS. The Fliteline Medallions are shrouded in mystery as nobody knows who the original manufacturer was nor is there an accounting of just how many were made. It is believed, that every Fliteline medallion, with the exception of the ones made for Apollo 1 flew in space. </p><p><br /></p><p>At the start of the Apollo program, Walter Cunningham is credited with having the first Robbins medal commissioned for Apollo 7. The Robbins company has manufactured medals for every US manned space flight since Apollo 7. </p><p><br /></p><p>These medals are subset of collecting within the space collecting community. At one time I had all ten of the Flightline medallions and twenty-two of the Robbins medals, six of which were flown. In the last few years I have been dispersing my space collection through auction and now, I only have three of the Robbins medals left. </p><p><br /></p><p>Gemini III Fliteline Medallion ex.
