I've just acquired a bunch of flown(?) covers and I kindly request your professional advice on their authenticity having no COA.

The first three covers are not flown. The second Soyuz 39 may be flown. I have some concerns about Soyuz TM-6.

Of course, for serious examination the originals would be needed.

Thanks for your kind reply. Can you please give me some hints on why the first three should not be flown? The TM-6? Thanks!

The second Soyuz 39 has both cozmo postmarks, as noted over here, entry 32.

Thanks for your time. If I got the point:
  • Soyuz 23 is not flown because lacking the B-1 onboard stamp

  • Soyuz 38 is not flown because lacking the Cuban on board stamp IB-7

  • Soyuz 39 (the addressed one) is not flown because lacking the C-8 pentagonal stamp and so stamped on earth at the return

  • Second Soyuz 39 should be flown

  • Soyuz TM-6 should be flown
Thanks for your kind feedback and support.
