Thank you Tony.... those are some beautiful pics!   The signatures - good  or bad - that I have are from 30+ years ago, so don't much resemble recent autographs... that's why I'm not sure.  I've found examples in the signature study that sort of match, but seems to be a lot of variation over the years and my eye is not keen enough to make a determination.    Would love opinions from an Eastwood expert on this post.

Thank you for the offer, Heath.  Not just yet.  Should I decide to do so, my new friends on this forum will have first dibs....

Hi Steve

I´m not an expert - fare from it, but your signatures looks genuine to me. This because the following:

To my knowledge, the difference between the secreterials in the ´70s and ´80s and the C.E. signatures are  mainly  to be found around the "C, the "E" and the "d".

The sec. signatures starts the "C" inside the loop and halfway up. The C:E. starts the "C" outside the loop and at the bottom or beneath it. The sec. "C" and "E" tilts at the same angel and the two loops have the same overall area. The C.E. signatures have very different angels on the two loops and they don´t have the same overall area. The "C" is much more upright than the "E", and at the "E" the overall area is much bigger than it can be seen on the "C".

About the "d" the sec. signatures forms a straigt and thin line at the top, but at the C.E. signatures the "d" forms a loop at the top - it often looks like a "cigar". 

I have an C.E. signature from 82 and it looks like yours, and the special way "To" is written are the same as on yours.

It´s probably  old knowledge to you, but if not, I hope, that it can help a little.

Hello John, thank you so much for taking the time to share this information.  Very helpful. As these were all from late '70s/early '80s some from dealers and some TTM - none in person - I've been very curious and welcome opinions and feedback.  I've seen examples of more recent signatures, as those Tony was kind enough to post.  Mine of course, look nothing like that.  Could be due to being 30+ years ago...or, maybe they're secretarial.   Good to know that you have a similar signature from the same time period.  If yours is good, that's encouraging.... thanks again, Steve
