Eastwood sit down graph vs. In person graph real, secretarial, or fake?

I am confident with the story of the source I bought this from considering she used to work in Hollywood and did the frames for the Academy, major stars, and studios.

The issue I am running into is people are telling me this is a classic secretarial vs real making me second guess myself in the purchase.

This according to my framer was signed by Eastwood when he stopped in her shop sat down at her desk and signed a few items for her while she grabbed his order. Sometime in the late 80s or early 90s.

Most Eastwood signatures are street graphs/in person graphs.

Is this one real? Is it secretarial that a lot of people who are not experts and are only familiar with IP street graph say it is? Or is it forgery?

I think the only one that still believes it is authentic is the OP.

No I just want an opinion from people familiar with the time frame I gave for a sit down autograph and not a street graph. Cogo gave a study from that time period in which all the signs for authentic listed in that article point to yes and a similar probably authentic point to yes for the sig.

I don’t need opinions from people not familiar with what an older graph looks like. The d is not the issue from the authentic list from that era according to the article.

I am looking for an expert opinion not a quick to judge RACC opinion from someone not familiar with that era.

you say it points to yes because there are similarities. Forgeries are intended to look like authentic versions. you have to look at flow, letter formation, and certain details that carry over regardless of the time period or sit down vs street.
