UPDATE: This lot is one of 16 in the current auction that comprise a complete suite of a medal, a patch, and a cover for each of John Young’s six space missions. Because select pieces within this collection are very rare, it took over seven years of determination and dedication to complete the project. The other 15 lots associated with this special collection are listed here.
Commemorative cover with a cachet honoring the U.S. Navy Recovery Force for Project Gemini, postmarked aboard the USS John Paul Jones on March 23, 1965, the launch day of the Gemini 3 mission, signed in ballpoint by Gus Grissom and John Young. In fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Zarelli Space Authentication.
