Description: 23cm by 16cm Postal Cover from the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games HAND SIGNED by Rolf Golz of West Germany who won a Silver medal in the Cycling Individual Pursuit and a Bronze in the Team Pursuit. There is an additional signature which is unidentified but looks to be Dean Woods of Australia who won Gold in the Team Pursuit as well as Silver and Bronze medals at later Olympics. The cover which is unsealed and empty is an official Comite Interational Olympique or IOC envelope with special Olympic Cycling stamp and Village Station postmark dated 6th August 1984 as shown. The original owner ( see below ) has written the name and some medal details under the autograph and also details of the event to the top edge as shown. Very good condition and a great addition to any Cycling collection. This cover was signed for and owned by Professor Arnold Beckett the IOC International Olympic Committee member who was a pioneer in Drug Testing in Sport and who was involved in testing Athletes at the highest levels before a falling out with the IOC caused him to ' switch sides ' and he began to represent Athletes he felt had been unfairly treated in drugs test related matters. Professor Beckett amassed a large collection of autographs which was sold at a major London Sports Memorabilia sale and this is from that collection, I WILL PROVIDE COPIES OF MY AUCTION PAPERWORK TO ACT AS PROVENANCE that this is a genuine and original signature. Please see my other listings which will include more items from the Beckett collection including many behind the scenes very scarce autographs. OVERSEAS BUYERS....
