This has always been a favorite card of mine, although the date has been smeared out. Based on my research, though, I think the LZ-127 was the Graf Zeppelin and the RTW flight would make the cancel August 25, 1929.

The cancel may be a little rough, but at least there's a nice block of the C6 Airmail.

.

Now for the reverse, is that Lindbergh?

Yes, that is old Chuck himself. I have never seen any cover with more than two of those 24˘ stamps. That is a fabulous airmail item!

Edit: I don't know why people feel they write notes on the cover itself. Thankfully there is an easy way to deal with that (after you have transcribed any pertinent notes).
