It looks as a print not as handsigned.

Tom...the postmark is 1978 and Lindburgh died in 1974. It's a commemorative cover with his signature printed on it.

Sometimes it is difficult to identify printed signatures but we could highly recommend the Dino-Lite Microscope where you could easily see if a signature had been printed or not.

If crossing lines are on the same level and with a raster they are printed. If you could see a top or bottom line when they are crossing they are signed personally.

Please apologize my bad English but I hope this is a helpful suggestion.

Sample printed Pablo Neruda signature

Example of a signed examples- although this has been a Castro forgery case but you could see crossing lines
