Harrison Schmitt beta cloth name tag


Item: Harrison Schmitt beta cloth name tag
Size: 19.2 x 6.2 cm.

Description: This beta cloth name tag corresponds to the type II (despite the "III" inscription on this item) - showing the first initial and surname of the astronaut, using the same typeface as the Type I tags (Futura condensed) printed with dark blue ink, as it was used by the Lunar Module Pilot. This style of nametag was used on the Inflight Coverall Garment (ICG, on the chest), Constant wear garment (CWG, on the chest), portable life support system (PLSS, on the back cover), PLSS oxygen purge system (OPS, on the top cover), and on the PLSS remote control unit (RCU, on the cover).
