Hendrix, Morrison and Beatles from Eastbourne Auctions In East Sussex

Here are a couple of items from the upcoming October 8th auction from Eastbourne Auctions. I believe that both were forged using authentic examples as templates.

Here’s the Hendrix offering and auction description:

Jimi Hendrix ink signature on paper, label verso inscribed Jimi Hendrix 6-9-1970 Fehmarn, 12cm x 8cm.

Here’s the authentic template signature from September of 1970:

Here’s the Morrison offering:

and the authentic template signature from a copy of the book The Lords and the New Creatures. I removed the blank space from the signed book page,

Agreed. The Morrison is not in Jim's hand, unfortunately...

Thanks, Jack. It’s another instance of taking a book signature and dedication out of context. Here’s the description:

Jim Morrison ink signature on paper - For Nade, J Morrison, 15cm x 10.5cm.

Wow, these are both pretty close and could fool some people (like that auction house!)  Good work!

Thanks, Bruce. They really are pretty close, and if they’re actually sold might do fairly well.

Are they receptive to emails?

I haven’t emailed them. I picked out these two, but they’re offering other signatures and I don’t know how many of those are bad.

Here’s the Beatles item from the discussion that fab432 started. This item is included in the same auction.
