The presentation is nice, but I'm highly skeptical of the COA. I will try and post a pic, but it basically says that the foil "was acquired from a NASA Engineer who was allowed to keep the foil and later sold it." The COA is signed by "Edward Humphreys, Century Concept International Inc." Not much info out there about him. Any opinions on the validity of this? Thanks in advance.

He was previously with Toys and Models Corp., which produces most of the wooden desktop spacecraft and rocket models sold at NASA visitor center and museum gift shops. He has also produced framed artifact displays, not dissimilar from this one, for the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex's Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit.
