I acquired this nice cover from Soyuz 37 Interkosmos Vietnam mission. Seems signed by Tuân Pham and Viktor Gorbatko.

Given the postmark, could be also possibly flown?

Moreover, the signatures are fakes and the postmarks would need further examination.

Thanks for the kind reply. Are you sure signatures are fake? Any specific reason for this? I've found these two similar covers: 1 | 2.

The signatures on your cover differ from the other covers. Especially Gorbatko's.

By the way, none of the shown covers were actually flown. They were postmarked in Baikonur after the crew returned. This is a very common case with INTERCOSMOS cancellations.

All times are CT (US)
