1984 Vintage Cartoon Art Postcard
QSL Card Italia Oper IK5AZN
 
This Unique card from PISA, Features a line ink cartoon drawing of a Spanish knight galloping with sword in hand and carrying his radio with him. Although this is a standard postcard (there is an outline space for a postage stamp on the back side), the standard QSO form appears to be printed on with a pad and ink type stamp, with the information written in by hand.
 
Sent from Operator Bianchi Mauro S. Guiliano Terme (PI) . 
 
The handwritten date is April 4, 1984, and the DX Stamp date is Feb 1985, so it took almost a year to make its way to the US.
 
Tan colored card stock, slightly over-sized than a standard QSL Card or Postcard
Measures 4-1/4 x 6-1/8 inches, (10-1/2 cm x 15-1/2 cm)
 
CONDITION: Fair Condition overall. No pinholes, creases, tears or discoloration. Minor wear on corners and edges. Printing and handwritten message is clear and readable.
