Not that you haven't thought of this, but in case you haven't....Google every type of spelling, that that name could possibly be. Surprisingly, sometimes it pops right up. Especially if you have a certain last name.

Hi Josh,

Yes I tried many times, but will continue.

I was just hoping that someone here might have been able to easily recognise the signature, or even just recognise/guess the first name.

Also, if you look at the signature it says "to Pamela", so did the writer start the next line with "fr" (Abbreviation of from?). If so is the last line made up of "fr" then a first and last name, or just a first and last name.

Thanks,

Mark

Hello Mark, is it Mark formally of Balsall Common? I don't recognise this one but do have a lot of autographs from this period including Jess Conrad and Matt Monroe so I may be able to help you verify some of the others if you want to add them on or message me. 

Phil

I like to think I know most of the UK film and music stars from the 1950s and 1960's but the only name that springs out when i see this is Tony Britton and this is not his autograph for sure. Can't think of anyone else in that period with the same or similar surname. What a mystery. Could be someone who just didn't make it in anyway big and went off the radar. I've got a few in my collection like that.

Mark, I think that puppet face is you.  Add on your other pics/autographs your not sure about and lets see if I can help you with some of them.

Sorry came in after you closed your chat request. Sounds like you've got a lot of autographs I'd like. I've also got some of the ones you've mentioned also and a lot more. I've checked out your listed ones and the Matt Monroe, Jess Conrad and Gerry and the Pacemakers all look good to me. I've got all these taken face-to-face in 1963 and yours look spot on. 

When you get a chance add any images of autographs on here your not sure about if its British TV/Film/Music from that period as I may be able to help. 

Glad to see you are still about - wherever that is these days!

Phil I'm back and have acquired some more autographs, a couple which are very interesting if authentic eg Charlie Chaplin & Alfred Hitchcock (autograph book pages)

I will post photos soon but will also need to get them authenticated if possible.
