Apollo Soyuz, 1975, Russian "Apollo Soyuz" Medal. This blue and gold enamel medal is mounted on a blue and yellow ribbon. It is in its original blue leather/plus presentation case and includes a matching lapel pin (without the ribbon). The medal depicts the Apollo Soyuz Spacecraft against a sky blue background as they approach their historic docking and is numbered 0333 on the reverse. We have not located the matching ID card for this medal nor have we any other info on it. About all we can say is that as it was presented to astronaut Deke Slayton, it must be an important medal. If we do locate the ID card and/or additional information about this medal, they will be passed along to the buyer in due time.
Estimated Value $750 - 1,000.

Apollo Soyuz, 1975, Russian Apollo Soyuz Medal. This small brass medal on a blue ribbon depicts the Apollo Soyuz spacecraft in docked position on one side and an inscription on the reverse. This is a much more common award than the other Apollo Soyuz medal presented here, but, as it is part of the Slayton Estate, it should not be overlooked.

Undated Gold Plated "International Space Station" Medallion (40mm.) This medal reads "S. P. Korolev Rocket and Space Corporation Energia" in English on one side and probably the same on the other. Both sides show the Space Station, but in different formats. As the medallion comes in a clear plastic holder in a plush blue box and was in Deke Slayton's possession, it is a fair assumption to assume that it is a fairly rare presentation piece. Definitely a nice addition to any collection.
Estimated Value $100 - 150.
