Humphrey Bogart SIG - Authentic?

Looks similar to 1938 and 1940 exemplars on the CEAD but appreciate opinions on authenticity.  Thank you.

I have my doubts about this Bogart. Atypical, IMO.

Thanks Joe.  The top of the "B" seems off and the thickness of the ink in the "ogar" section seems to indicate less fluidity to me.  However, was close enough to solicit comments.  Thanks.

This looks freshly signed on old paper, and it's missing the flow and certain design characteristics. I don't think it's real.

Thanks Steve.  Appreciate the additional direction on "new ink".  Trying to get more savvy at authentication and tips like that are helpful.
