Neil Armstrong original autograph on a postcard from Switzerland: eBay 322991343880.

On July 1, 1972, Armstrong and his colleague John Glenn traveled to Switzerland to attend the inauguration of the Raumfahrthalle in the Verkehrshaus Luzern. On this occasion, some of these cards were signed.

I strongly concur with Dirk's assessment on this.

I can only contribute my part.

These cards (similar exist by John Glenn) were NOT signed by Armstrong at the event but taken later by a museum authority to the US and mailed from there to Armstrong. This fact was confirmed by the Verkehrshaus president after numerous arguments I had with collectors in Europe.

Armstrong DID NOT! sign these cards at the event though he was present. So at least this is a weak attempt of a secretarial signature, but most likely fake.

All times are CT (US)
