Yes from me, 1973. Very nice. Many traits old and new (to come - That "Bo" connection is already there).

Thanks for the reply Eric. The item was actually signed May 6, 1972.

As my area of interest is really 1975/76-1979 I am am surprised I was that close!  :) It is a lovely item. Here is my 1976 - April 26th Stockholm:

The Lets Dance is a poor forgery. The 1980 Elephant Man by Ron Scherl has value just a a photograph if it is stamped - the signature is perfectly genuine and extremely rare. This 1980 signing style was one thought a secretarial, but I a and others proved otherwise.

Yes, I concur about the Let's Dance. I always had doubts about that one.

Do you mind if I keep putting up Bowie signatures? I'm really trying to come to grips with what's real and what's not in my collection.

Here's one I think is a fake. What do you think?

Perhaps. Not a fan. Not one I'd sell or buy. No date, condensed,

Hi Mark :)

It is rushed IMO. Not something I would sell. I try to provide bang-on obviously genuine Bowie's. It my be to you, and maybe to me, but most want the proper paraph (although its lack certainty has precedent as does the double lopped "o") - but not that curl, (this is early 90's?) and most want a date and some even want one of both apostrophes. I try to provide the best examples I can. To me this should be discounted to a degree - YMMV?
