I have additional information on this postmarker: - Ralf Schulz is selling cacheted covers with this cancel at 2 Euro plus postage. The cachet shows a portrait of Hans Schlegel.
- Schulz also services stamped and addressed covers (no cardboard stiffeners please - will add his own) for a servicing fee of 50c, both for launch and docking of the mission.
For both, please use the address mentioned in the initial message. I have added an image with the entire cover today. ------------------ Jürgen P Esders Berlin, Germany International Director (Europe), Space Unit Vice President, Weltraum Philatelie e. V. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Astroaddies |

Another postmarker has been used for Hans Schlegel's spaceflight by the same initiators of the previous cancels. It is a cover with a personalized stamp printed by postal services upon order of a private or commercial customer for mass mailings called Infopost. This "stamp" shows a portrait of Hans Schlegel. As a cancellation, a printed slogan type cancel is used, referring to Hans Schlegel on STS-122, and showing the space shuttle with the solid boosters and the external tank. To obtain a copy, contact Ralf Schulz at the address mentioned before. ------------------ Jürgen P Esders Berlin, Germany International Director (Europe), Space Unit Vice President, Weltraum Philatelie e.
