Authenticity is Everything
Jim Morrison autograph from the 27th of april 1971
Greetings!
Im in the situation that Im have been trying to find a place that can actually value it (in case insurance need to cover any damages if apartment burned down or theft.) Im not planning to sell the autograph I just want it valued (which I have tried doing locally without luck. (It was not their expertise) I live in Denmark and my best try was to send picture to a british company but without luck
The story of the Autograph: My aunt was a huge Morrison fan when she was young and she each week sent a letter to their studio in santa monica. One day she recieved the pictures letter with the signed picture (she wrote the date on the back of the envelope '4-27-71') I got it as a christmas present because I since I was really young have been talking about inheriting it after her (I like The Doors as well ;p)
My question is: How much is this worth? or where can I get it proper valued? The people I've tried have opted out saying an expert need to check it but living in Denmark Autograph checking is not something thats around :S
If anyone have an idea of the price range and if it even makes sense to get it valued (again for insurance purpose.)
Kind Regards Bo P

In my opinion this is not authentic. The "O" is very shakily done and have never seen the 2 R's done that way...

I believe Jim was also already in Paris during that time...

The envelope is postmarked March 8, '71. I believe that Jim was still in L.A. at that time, but the signature doesn't look authentic to me either.

I didn't see that Ballroom. Then he still was in L.A. but regardless the unfortunate is true...

I find it odd that they at the recording studio would go to such lengths and have a person to forge Jims autograph (eventhough he was still alive at that point) Of course people can doubt the truth of the story but I know that it is true so lets assume that it is :p (If it matters to people we can call it a thought experiment then! :D) But I know my aunt pretty well and shes not the lying type! :D

Bo, I don't think anyone doubts the story. The question remains whether Jim signed it or not. I can say with 100% certainty that he did not. I'm sorry and know it's a bummer but wouldn't want you to waste a couple hundred bucks getting it authenticated. The slant, every letter and transitions are all off as is the signature as a whole. Jack...

She lived in Denmark (Europe) at the point. She was round 14-18 at the time. A letter form US today would sometimes take +2 weeks so 40 years ago i dont think its plausible that i could take this long but to be honest I have not asked her how specific date en the exact recieving-date. :) But why would a random place in the world answer her letters specified to him :) It would be weird if he havent seen any of her letters since she had been writing him for years.

That would make sense, but what I don't understand is why the postmark shows domestic first class postage, which was six cents at the time. I believe it would have cost more to mail it to Denmark.
