Franklin Roosevelt/Winston Churchill Autograph Photo Authentic?

Any opinions? I had posted this in the general category with no responses so I decided to list it under historical autographs to see if there are any opinions.

These signatures are not my specialty, but even with a casual familiarity with them, something looks very wrong.

They appear to be from the same hand and there are areas that show hesitation.

Someone who knows better can chime in and correct me, but I'd be surprised if they were good.

Thanks Steve.

I thought the same about it. Definitely looks to be signed with same fountain pen. Can't confirm how this item was obtained but comes from the same through the mail collector who had the Neil Armstrong auto you looked at a few days ago and opined as genuine.

I know this item didn't come through the mail and I immediately dismissed it as not authentic when I first saw it but obviously the owner thinks this is a huge piece, which if authentic it would be, and it looks like it is going to be hard to buy the through the mail collection without including this item at a valuable level.

Guess I will try to exclude it and see what happens.
