Apollo 15 EVA-1 cuff checklist
This is an absolutely incredible replica of the cuff checklist worn by Apollo 15 commander Dave Scott during the fourth-ever moon landings the mission’s first EVA, as he and fellow astronaut Jim Irwin explored their landing site at the Marsh of Decay, Elbow Crater, and St. George Crater. It provided detailed step by step instructions for the astronauts while they set up experiments and then explored the lunar surface.
The checklist includes pages for the LM Commander for the collection and stowage of the first contingency lunar sample, deploying the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), unstowing the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) and configured the LRV for its first drive, among other important mission and contingency activities.
Experts who have curated flown Apollo cuff checklists sold at auction have confirmed the pages feel like the genuine Dupont Chronopaque film used by NASA. There is no glue, paint or plastic components used, it is made 100% authentically with all metal construction and rivets. The unique working design with a spiral binding on a curved arm brace prevents pages from turning accidentally. The checklist is supplied with an equally authentic 19" wristband using 1970's Apollo era vintage Velcro hook and loop fastener to attach to the outside of a space suit.

Please note that the arm brace is also engraved with the part and serial numbers, but the real ones had to their pages attached in a position to cover them up, so I felt compelled to do the same. Also, following best practice for reproductions, copies of approver's signatures have not been attempted.
For comparison, the original flown artefact used by Dave Scott on Apollo 15 is in presented in pdf format at www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a15/A15_EVA-1_CuffChecklist (opens in new a window)
The cuff checklist comes with an aluminium clear topped display case for storage, wide enough to display opened pages.
