Dwight Eisenhower - What Do You Think?

I just got this really nice TSL from when IKE was the President of Columbia University. Letter looks great. I took some pictures of the signature in different lighting so you can see the crossing of ink on the letters to rule out it being a stamp. It does not match any known autopens and it does not match any secretarial styles.

I think its 100% genuine, I guess I'm just looking for somebody to validate my opinion so I can truly enjoy this piece. Also, I want to send to PSA for encapsulation but I don't want to lose $100 if something isn't right.

What do you guys think? Thank you all so much!

Please see attached pictures.

I'm getting this ready to send to PSA. Any opinions? Thanks!

I don't have my glasses but is that live ink?

I sure think so. It shows places where the ink is thicker in slower areas and thiner in faster areas. Almost 100% its live ink. See picture 3.

Does not match any autopen patterns or secretarial signatures per Paul Carr's book "The Eisenhower Files".
