Souvenir treaty entitled “Agreement on the Rescue of Astronauts, the Return of Astronauts and the Return of Objects Launched into Outer Space,” on a 16.5 x 10.25 sheet of parchment-type paper, signed in the top right in blue felt tip, “Dave Scott,” in black felt tip, “James A. McDivitt,” and in black ballpoint, “Rusty Schweickart Apollo 9.” Treaty also bears two postal cancellations, including one for the moon landing, a First Day of Issue stamp, and a ten-cent Man on the Moon postage stamp. In fine condition, with a central vertical fold and a small pencil notation to bottom edge. Also referred to as the ‘Rescue Agreement,’ it is an international agreement setting forth rights and obligations of states concerning the rescue of persons in space. The Agreement was created by a 1967 consensus vote in the United Nations General Assembly; it came into force in 1968. These scarce souvenirs were produced by longtime autograph dealer Sy Kessler to commemorate this event.
