I'm not an Errol Flynn expert but based on these examples of authentic Errol Flynn autographs it looks pretty good to me.

Someone else here may be able to verify that better than me but I think it looks pretty good in comparison.

PSA DNA gave a quick opinion and said that it is likely NOT genuine... altough it's very similiar to the real ones.

That's really interesting! I do know that The CEAD is a really reliable source so I'm not real sure now. I wish I could be of more help.

Appears a bit scratchy, hesitant/slow in areas, odd baseline and slants.

What do you see?

Honestly, I can see some similarity in the Flynn you have posted with some of the authentic examples I looked at. With that said this is a tough call. I have my doubts. Perhaps knowing who the seller is can render some clue on it's authenticity.

Seller is on eBay - UK seller. Some cuts seem to have a shaky, scratchy look - perhaps its just me. This looks a bit odd to me as well.

Sellers Ginger Rogers

Seen this seller before. I absolutely don't like this Rogers. He also had an Ingrid Bergman that stunk. IMO. I would AVOID this seller myself.

Looked at this Rogers before and passed. I'm in the market for a good vintage example. This one is not it.

No, it is certainly not!

I think the "Err" shows some hesitation/odness and is problematic as well as the other things I mentioned.

The signature in fountain pen (1952) picture looks to me a the same one as the picture i have Eric.

Here's a genuine example of his signature that I bought.

This autograph has been authenticated by one of the UK's leading autograph experts, Garry King of Autografica and member of AFTAL and UACC. Item comes complete with a signed letter of authenticity from Garry King. Also comes with a signed COA from Fraser's of London where the signature was bought by the old owner.

PSA DNA give it a LIKELY GENUINE valuation.
