No from me.

Looks overbaked, especially for a reluctant signer.  Those postal products, like U.S. first day issues and cachets are terrific forgery magnets.  I have few!

Atypical.

Valiant effort, but highly doubtful in my opinion. 

"...Valiant effort..."

I thought so too Steve.

From the SWAU Ford signature study:

And the OP:

This is why it was a "valiant effort" but looked way too early to me - the original is 1978-1985 or so.

It's almost certain he would not sign in that style in 2017. But even without the anachronism, it's way too labored and you can practically see the "thinking" behind the signature. Valiant effort because most forgers don't attempt the fuller signature... it's a lot easier trying to replicate the modern abbreviated street sigs. 

Do you know what I found to be most impressive?  The hook on the “T”.

I never meant the OP was genuine, just that this example was used to make it. 

Exactly, Eric.

This copy, and the Edie from Ballroom in just 24 hours.The Ford study was posted in another thread - I recognized this as the original right away. People are copying a lot lately.
