In my opinion, this Armstrong signed postal cover is likely authentic.

Thanks, Steve. I also think so. What year do you think the autograph was signed? I'm asking because Neil visited USSR only once as far as I know in 1970. And I wonder was it signed then or later... And here some photos from this visit- some from the private archive- just for interest sake:

Great photos, George! I especially like the one with the medal getting pinned on Armstrong as the giant helmeted face of Gagarin looks on in the background. Not too subtle... LOL

In my opinion the Armstrong signature style is consistent with the early 70s. 

regards, Steve
