Intriguing matte-finish 10 x 8 photo of NASA astronauts and Russian cosmonauts on a hunting expedition, all wearing “One Shot Hunt Team, Lander, Wyo.” baseball caps, and posing with three Native American guides, signed in black felt tip by Deke Slayton, Vance Brand, Dave Scott, Alexei Leonov, Valery Kubasov, Stu Roosa, and one other; in blue felt tip by Ron Evans, and in black ballpoint by Joe Allen. Accompanied by photos of Dave Scott taken at time of signing, as well as a certificate of authenticity from Janet Evans and Novaspace. In fine condition, with Allen’s signature light, but legible.
According to the consignor, he acquired Scott’s signature in the United Kingdom. During that encounter, the former astronaut explained that during a training exercise, the astronauts and cosmonauts were invited by Native Americans in Wyoming to participate in a “one-shot hunt.” Each man was armed with a rifle and one gunshot cartridge, and the person who got the kill was the overall winner. The consignor explained that Scott had remarked that not even he had a copy of this photo! An unusual pose that originates from the private collection of deceased astronaut Ron Evans. Pre-certified Scott Cornish and RRAuction COA.
