Dan,
The Apollo command module was covered with a silver colored mylar type
material not gold foil. I think it's probably vacuum deposited aluminum
on one side and a yellow/gold color glue on the other, the gold color
may be caused by the glue or there may be layers showing from the other
side. I would be very wary of this offer.
Ron might have better info on this.
Doug
