Bruce Lee Autograph

HI Guys, i am after a little advise, i know there is a member on here (kato) i think? that i hope will see this and give his opinion.

 I have been offered a Bruce Lee which up until this morning i was about to buy, after meeting the fella and seeing the autograph up close alarm bells started to ring, i have attached info where it came from, it just looks like its been written so slow, any thoughts would be appricatied. 

This was the info i was given on the item:

-        signed by Bruce Lee on set at Golden Harvest studios summer 1972 when filming the famous alley nunchaku scene for Way of the Dragon

-        this was for a visiting Japanese fan, Anders Nielson one of the extras and Mora Maio were getting Bruce to sign any slips of paper they could find for the group of fans, this was one such autograph by Bruce

-        I have an email from Anders confirming this was the case

-        Fan sold it to UK fan at a Bruce gathering, I then bought it from him off ebay

-        I sent PSA/DNA a scan before buying it and Mike Gutierrez (Bruce Lee estate expert for PSA at that time) confirmed its authenticity by email and offered to buy it – hence dealing with Mike now at Heritage

No flow at all with this signature.
Looks decent at first glance.
How much was seller asking for this fake???

I believe this has all the traits to be an authentic bruce lee autograph. 

However, It does look in places to be signed very slow as you point out, but it could be the surface in which the paper was layed on for bruce to sign? im not sure tough call. 

& personally when buying a bruce autograph you are gonna want to be 100% onit. if you have a doubt you will always have a doubt, I would personally pass onit as if for ever some reason you came to sell it on in the future you are gonna have the same issues you have brought up now as a potential buyer. 

That's just my opinion. 

All the best, 

Rob

hi tony,

to be honest some parts for me look off the r in bruce is one for me and looks slowly written in parts plus to me it looks more of an drawn signature  that for me I would pass on  and IMO a forgery and a story to go along with it, if I had a chance to buy a bruce autograph for a good price it would have to be a signed cheque. all the best Kato

This brochure looks identical to the one that that Tim G posted on my Chuck Norris conversation last year.

Some concerns were raised to the authenticity of both Bruce and Chuck's autograph on Tim G's piece.

I remember that like it was only yesterday! You and I have the memory of rogue elephants.

Indeed! I occasionally wake up in the middle of the night believing i'm still in the middle of that debate! I think i need counselling.
It was a good learning curve for me - that being, just because sonething's been authenticated by a major player doesn't necessarily make it authentic.
If anyone's interested, the conversation posted was entitled "Giraffes were created when Chuck Norris upercutted a horse."
