<p>Trying to decide if this 1955 Grace Kelly is real or not has been driving me crazy. Like those of Lady Diana, many of her signatures are very simple-looking but nontheless - or perhaps for that very reason - tough to call. </p>

<p>I have looked at well over a couple of hundred examples of Grace's signature and handwriting over the last few days. I couldn't point to one signature that exactly matches the one below and there are many aspects of the signature that do not quite match the vast majority of other examples. I would still say, however, that it is real. I have several reasons:</p>
<p>1. The signature as a whole is pretty close to some other 1954/1955 examples.</p>
<p>2. The formation of certain letters in both the signature and inscription seem quite typical.</p>
<p>3. Certain letters are formed inconsistently, something you wouldn't expect from a secretary.</p>
<p>3. A secretary would most likely have made the signature simpler and even more typical. </p>
<p>4. The ink is old. Forgers wouldn't have bothered with Grace Kelly in the 1950s.</p>
<p>6. The ink blobs/smudging. I think a secretary might well have pulled out another photo and re-done it.</p>
<p>7. I haven't found evidence that Grace used a secretary for signing.</p>
<p>I'd be really interested in any comments on this one. </p>
