i think it could be real,,for one i know julian frequently got postcards from john during his younger years,,yes he would be only 2,,but i think the postcard is really meant for dott to interprete,  [master] implies youngster too,,the shape of her A  and c y n  is very consistent with her known signature in cynthia which is her common less formal signature,,,can never be 100 % sure but i lean towards genuine imo  a steal at a mere £400

also for it not to be real,,someone would have had to locate a 1960s stamped postcard that had gone through the postal system with nothing written on it,,, so they could fake the writing .........highly unlikely prospect,,therefore logic dictates it has to be real

Just wondering out loud. Would someone's Mom and Dad sign a postcard to their son using their first name?

I can see what you mean about the PC and postmark automan. Still a little odd to address it to a two year old and apparently spell his name wrong but I guess it was written in haste. Pretty boring view by the way.

Not sure £400 was really a steal given that we are talking Cyn rather than John but obviously it has historical interest given what was going on at the time (filming Help etc.).
