That looks genuine to me for what it's worth. Looks like a nice example as well. What do you think of the dealer? 

I've looked at examples of his autograph quite a few times recently because I doubt the authenticity of one I have in my collection. I'm after a refund now.

I don't like this signature of Eastwood.  It doesn't have the usual characteristic his last name has in most examples.  I'd try to find one that is more concrete in terms of authenticity.

Here's a signature study that a member was nice enough to direct me to when I was enquiring about Eastwood's signature:

You're example is very clean but other than that I can't see anything suspicious about it. I don't claim to be an expert though :)

The example is clean, but for the money that Clint Eastwood costs, I'd much rather have an example that is no question authentic.  When I created that thread you posted, the example that Al has posted got mixed opinions.  It was concluded that this type of signature was the more "known authentic" Eastwood:

Note page 3 of this thread: http://live.autographmagazine.com/forum/topics/clint-eastwood-signa...

This one I purchased shortly after the discussion,  

See the similarities (last name in particular)?

I'm not saying the signature posted by Al is not authentic, but I am saying that I'd much rather have a signature that is unquestionably authentic.  That is ignoring the cert it has as well; having a global cert doesn't real help its case

I appreciate that most of the Eastwood signatures you see for sale seem rushed with the lettering kind of crushed together. It would actually be really interesting to see what the likes of PSA have stored in their files as the real deal.
