Buster Keaton signed movie photo - Is it Real?

Here my Buster Keaton signed movie photo from the movie he appeared in with Annette Funicello in 1964, "Pajama Party". It is signed in blue fountain pen. What's your take? Do you think it's authentic? All opinions welcome. Thanks.

Looks OK to me at first glance. Perhaps should be a bit shakier by this time. I have a late one that is a bit less definite than this.

Thanks. I thinks it looks pretty good too. Keep in mind that in 1964, he was only 69, and if signed during filming he may have been 68. I have a brother who is almost 20 years older than I, who is 68, and he has no shakiness in his writing whatsoever. I mean Keaton would have been 68, not 88. 68 is not that old, yet it does appear to be the writing of an older person. My mother who passed away at 90 recently, didn't develop shakiness in her writing until her late 70s/early 80s. Thanks for your thoughts.

I must add though, I'm definitely no expert on Buster Keaton. And I don't know what his health situation was in 1963/64.
