Not real imo. All signed by the same person.

Not a bad forgery, if it is one.

I don't know how anybody could say, those sigs look dead on to me, but I trust Nirvana autographs like I trust the weather reports...

You'd really have to lay known authentic examples down next to Krist and Dave to really look at them. 

If they are fake at least the forger took the time to get them close. Some of these you look at it and scratch your head.

the grohl is really good one way or another

.for this band i always source matters

Thank you for your answers.
This may be complicated to know the authenticity of these autographs.

This is coming from a buddy who knows Nirvana well...

It's a decent forgery but you can can tell it's bad for one obvious reason. The Dave.... He does the back bone of the D 1st then loops over the top and around and this one has the back bone added after cause you can see the ink goes over the bottom loop. This is a common forger tactic cause it's hard to get his over all shape down when doing the back bone 1st. Forgers do this with P's and R's too.

This is one thing I never do.  Tell what's wrong with it. 

Right, Wascher, but then how are you an expert? I know but Im not telling?

If Im being 100% honest the Dave is what gave me pause. It just looks off- very tough to fake one from the time period.

That Krist is scary good if fake.
Thanks for your precisions.
However Dave Grohl has changed several times in the way of signing since his debut with nirvana, this is perhaps a variation?
Marcleo- Dave has changed but one would assume these are all signed at the same time so we's want these to match the period.

For me it's not a time period issue its an "off" issue.

Marcello, it seems to me what is being pointed out re the "D" is much like the "R" in Roger Waters - which stroke goes down first. If the vertical stroke is not first there is a problem. That is not something I would expect variation in.

Another follow up by the same individual:

For the style of the signatures and specifically with the Kurt as "Kurdt" it has to have been signed 93 or earlier. Krist at this time as still signing "Chris". By the time he switched "Krist" Kurt dropped the "d". And yes. Dave has changed his signature slightly over the years. These days he signed DD more or less but sometimes he still busts out the old D_d like this one however he ALWAYS starts with the back bone from top to bottom. Always. 
Furthermore. Smears happen. But he isn't a lefty for one and that is an extremely uncommon place for a smear for a righty (real hounds know this) and given the direction in which his signatures flows and how he signs (watch dozens of videos on YouTube) the smear would go from left to right. This smear is not only in the wrong spot it and going in an unnatural direction it looks deliberate. It goes up and down...
Lastly. Nearly every real Nirvana item is a bit of a mess or has that spontaneous look. Different pens, angles and pen pressures. These are all in the same line, same pen, same pen pressure and lack all the expected speed and feathering.
Same sharpie , same pressure but totally authentic . How to know how the "D" was formed?
