STS-6 was the sixth overall flight in the Space Shuttle program and the first of ten flights for the Challenger. Commander Weitz's crew consisted of Pilot Karol J.

This six-sided embroidered mission insignia patch, 4.5" x 4" overall, is mounted to a printed sheet with the text: "Man-Systems Division Presents to: PAUL WEITZ COMMANDER" above, and "This original patch worn during your STS-6 Mission" below. This sheet is matted and framed to 14" x 12". Excellent condition overall; the patch itself is very lightly stained in a couple of locations.Weitz has certified this on the back of the frame: "This is my mission patch that was/ worn and flown on STS-6./ From my personal collection/ Paul Weitz/ Commander".
Included with this lot is a handwritten and signed Letter of Certification from Paul Weitz on his personal letterhead, stating: "To whom it may concern- This flown patch was mounted and presented to me by the JSC Man-Systems Division Division after our STS-6 mission. It has been in my possession ever since and is from my collection of artifacts from the mission."
