Pavel Popovich Cosmonaut Signed KNIGA FDC Cover Autograph Vostok 4

This listing is for a vintage Soviet KNIGA postal cover, which has been hand-signed by cosmonaut Pavel Popovich. The signatures on the KNIGA covers were obtained from the cosmonauts by the Ministry of Communications of the USSR, and given a unique postmark for authenticity. KNIGA covers were produced for nearly all of the early Soviet space missions. They're one of the only ways to obtain a signature that's completely official and undeniably genuine.

Pavel Popovich was the fourth cosmonaut, flying to space on Vostok 4. He later commanded the Soyuz 14 mission as well.

They hired Steve Zarelli, the world's foremost expert on space signatures, to inspect the cover and confirm that it's a genuine KNIGA release, not a reprint or forgery. This item was signed about 50 years ago, and it has some minor wear/aging as a result. Please refer to the photos for a closer look.
