no doubt many good German ones and like I said if you know the background, the person, or trust the seller 100% go for them. But it seems the army era autographs were a hotbed for forgers, one in particular, so unless all the above criteria is met, they are not for me

Hello Steve, hi colleagues,

what do you guys think of this comparable one? Authentic? Any other comments?

This is mine in color. I appreciate every single opinion.

Thanks as always
Markus

I think this one is also a typical Euro/Army era forgery all done by Hans or now I have heard a new Belgium forger who is flooding the market with Hans type forgeries.  There is a great thread about this on the Facebook Elvis autograph group.  I am learning myself about these new forgeries which are very very good.

Hi Karsten,

you think my yellow one is a Bakker fake? Wow! Experience and gut feeling - or any remarkable traits/hints that lead you to this conclusion - if I may ask?

Have a great evening
Markus

PS: May I also ask for your opinion about my 1955 Elvis/Scotty/Bill posted in a paralll thread?

Hi Markus,

I think Steve is right. Well known forgery style. Your yellow one doesn't have the right flow, the right style. It looks a bit shaky overall. IMO that is not Elvis' signature. 
Best,   Karsten
