As I said, I understand that. But again, regardless of the source, the individual sig must be able to sand in its own. The reason being, it would not be the first time an EMI or exec/DJ received a fake Freddie (yes, even with a genuine Roger Brian or John as well).

my main thoughts are

its obviously a autograph signed for Georg

Georg obviously knew most (lets say many of the EMI artist)

he was the boss for EMI Austria

roger Taylor say thanks to him (what did Georg for them)

Freddie mercury was often in Vienna (did he never met Georg the boss of his local record company?)

would they really send a fake (signed by the PA ) autograph to the label boss?

not talking about random autographs sended to djs who anyway gonna try to sell them for a quick buck

why using such a nice and rare press foto?

why not only sending a random signed card?

can as you say too good "The green parts are highlighted to show the good things- but perhaps too good?" be just the right deal for a label boss?

breaks and hesitations that we normally don't see in his hand, as well as an odd looping motion that seems to be over exaggerated.

could it come from trying to do it perfect for the label boss and thinking about the composition autograph and foto ?

To answer your quesyion, yes freddie's PA/ FC have sent fake signatures in the past to people in the business, as I've already mentioned to you multiple times. And yes, most of those times were indeed on great promo items. Does it mean EVERY item sent to people in the business was fake? Absolutely not. Plenty are genuine and fab items. Freddie's PA and FC have rarely ever sent simply a signed card. They usually sent promo items,singles,photos ect

Usually signed to a person with their name included. Most times, the fan club didnt, but his PA often did, yes.

would be great to compare a PA signed and dedicated item with this one

I have an example of one signed by Peter Freestone, but unfortunately I'd have to look through some old folders on my desktop to find one from Terry Giddings and Joe F (his PAs/ cook and driver). But definitely not from the fan club.

you said in a early post that "I'd say it was Freddie's PA that signed this one as his handwriting was indeed very near to freddies "

Terry Giddings and Joe F or Peter Freestone you think could have signed it? who's handwriting was near of freddies?could help

Yes, I should've been more clear. When I talk about his PAs on Facebook I mean his righthand men. Peter freestone was his official PA but Terry and Joe did sign for him as well and (although they were his cook and driver) I still roll them up in the PA title. Lord knows they did some of the same dirty work! lol. Freestone was very open a few years ago about all 3 of them signing for Freddie when he was overwhelmed, busy or simply didn't feel like doing it. I'll be honest, philipp, I don't think Peter did this one as his handwriting was indeed very close to freddies but his signature for Freddie isn't like this at all. It was nearer to freddies style towards the end of his life and this one was a style from the mid 80s.
