Shenzhou 6 flown CAST cover from the second manned Chinese space flight signed by the crew.This cover has been flown onboard the second manned Chinese space flight piloted by Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng in 2005 spending 4 days in space. Officially issued by the Chinese Academy of Space Technology (CAST). Both Taikonauts have signed the cover.
Housed in a stunning 10x12 hardcover book the flown cover comes with three other CAST issued commemorative covers for Shenzhou 6.
The flown cover has been notarized and numbered and comes with an official notarized COA by the Beijing Public Notary Office. Both the COA and the cover have the embossed stamp applied. Only 50 of these covers have been issued according to the COA. This cover is number 44.
Few flown covers are actually signed by the Taikonauts with this one being already shown as signed in the notarized COA. So the autographs are notarized as well.
I purchased this a number of years ago from Florian Noller. Asking $1000 plus shipping. E-mail for photos.
