This pennant comes from the estate of the famous sports commissar Ivan Borisenko who fixed cosmonauts records for the Federation of Aviation and Cosmonautics (FAI) and who was the collector of cosmonauts signatures himself. He asked cosmonauts Kizim and Solovjev (Soyuz T-15 mission) to bring it onboard MIR with their first mission there and then take it from the last MIR cosmonauts Zaletin and Kaleri (Soyuz TM-30 mission). After Borisenko death some of his items became available. --> The COA can be given to the buyer upon request. Height - about 20 inches. Condition - good. All the signatures and stamps are in perfect order. The silk pennant material is in a good order too but the Soviet symbolism on it is a litle bit peeled off. Seller has a number of interesting photos of Russian cosmonauts, flown covers and hardware. Seller accepts the requests to find rare and interesting memorabilia related to Russian space exploration.
