I was given a set by the Head of Communication at ESTEC some years ago and some from Ulf Merbold. I have a mylar logo plate and a small flag from Spacelab D1 (Challenger), with the letter from the DLR project manager outlining the whole kit flown on D1 (total 200 logo plates flown, 15 small flags), and two similar plates from Spacelab-2.
