The dripping pen card, 340 cipher and envelope

Front of dripping pen card



Back of dripping pen card



340 cipher

I think the pen is a clue to who he is see the panels riveted to make up the body of the pen
they resemble aircraft bodys panels with many rivets IMO
also under the pen clip the squares 5 in number may represent an 5 digit aircraft number
I'm betting it is a military helicopter

That's a pretty neat observation and I hadn't noticed that before.

i know ...but I had a cheat.... I'm sure I know where Napa Z was during the  mid sixties to 73

I am sure I know the significance of the round panel in the middle of the top too

I think a 15 year old book could be a #1 best seller very soon ,.. but the author will hate that.

Anyone know where the solving of the 340 by Robert graysmith can be found ? and post it , if found
the one he did in the 80's ?
I want to see if his helps me with my solving ( a few words now)
a few words I have are : noon ,moon, be, he,germs,tv,as

I haven't seen that but I would imagine it's posted on the other forums.
