AUDRY HEPBURN

Just bought this piece for a girlfriend. First autograph I ever bought. I was so happy with find, that I didn't thoroughly inspect in show. When I got home I noted certain rigidity in the signature and the photo appears very new. What do you think...real or auto pen?

Seller noted he has been in business for over 17 years and dealer from which it was purchase has been in business for over 25. COA which is being mailed to me is from Seller not dealer, which also concerns me.

Thanks guys. I tend to agree. Other than the rigidity and shaky nature of the signature, is it in keeping with what you know to be her authentic signature? It looks like autopen or a trace of some kind. At first I thought it was later in life auto but when to compared to exemplars in the 80's this doesn't even compare.

The shakiness appears to be the result of a series of stops. There is no such pattern in the line beneath the signature. Sorry Robert. What makes you suspect that the photograph is "very new"?
