It looks real to me. I'd be quite surprised if it was not.

Thanks Steve, was just reading some of your Buster comments from older threads as you commented.

No....absolutely not real.  This is amongst a gallery of forgeries on Etsy all framed up the same way by the same dealership.  Besides Keaton, awful Laurel and Hardy, Alfred Hitchcock, Bela Lugosi, etc. ....each offered for $289.81. 

It’s a very good forgery. I’ve had a few Buster’s in my collection and it compares. Obviously, Etsy and the dealer changes things.

Thanks Etienne, I had several suspicious about this seller based on some of the prices and past listings.

James - Trust your instincts on this one.  As time has gone on, I've realized the wisdom of this expression on autograph collecting:  "When in doubt, don't!"

And stay away from this one on Bonanza. Offered as well from Ireland like your OP.... although a different dealership name.  Take a look at the typed text font on the top of both images....same as well.

Thanks for the heads up, authentic Keatons appear to be harder to acquire than I originally thought. Will have to keep looking around. Appreciate the help.

James, I'm sorry. I checked exemplars and it looked in line.

Unbelievable! This one looks so good to me.

I just noticed it was on matting. I thought it was an album page. 

Here's that dealership's Bela Lugosi....sad :
