Interesting Find -- Neil Armstrong's "Purse" from Apollo 11

Here's an interesting posting, from the National Air and Space Museum, about the "purse" found in a closet in Neil Armstrong's home, after his death -- The Armstrong Purse: Flown Apollo 11 Lunar Artifacts

Most interesting to me is the video camera, used to film Armstrong and Aldrin, on the moon.

Hard to imagine how this got from the lunar surface, back to earth, and to Armstrong's home in Ohio. If this were an old watch, the skeptics would be screaming, "Fake!" and challenging the provenance!!
