Hello,
I will give you give you some advice for a thorough inspection of the postcard once you get it in hand. I would say it looks pretty respectable from the images, I see many similarities with his signature in the late thirties. It won’t be definite until in hand as it could be a facsimile or autopen.
Once in hand, each letter in the signature should be closely compared under magnification with a known original. The next step may be more difficult as it is on a postcard which is thicker but it still should work. Hold it up to a light source, varying amounts of applied pressure and ink would likely be noticeable. The amount of applied pressure and ink will never be the same throughout a handwritten piece. The auto pen can be very common for famous people or those who sign many documents. The autopen will begin and end abruptly with a dot of ink when the pen is pressed downwards or pulled up. Throughout the signature there can also be unnaturally straight lines or inevitable mechanical wobble from the machine. There is a chance the signature could be stamped. The ink of a stamped signature will be pushed outwards leaving edges with more ink than interior portions.
I would feel confident with this example if these aspects all check out.
