It looks like a known forgery style to me. I would write it off.

No problem. Ah, this is yours? I’m really sorry. I thought it was something you were considering purchasing.

Thanks Eric.  Your "+1" helps me write this one off without looking back.  I continue to learn a lot by reading threads in this forum.  I am in awe of the detailed knowledge to date authentic signatures and spot known forgery styles.  Lots of great mentors.  Thank you for taking the time to look and comment.

Thanks for the support.  Obviously disappointing but always better to know.  All is not lost since this was framed with a BG-105 Jimi Hendrix "Flying Eyeball" first printing handbill which is still pretty cool on its own.

The good news is members have given "thumbs up" on other items I have posted.  It is a process and I would rather do it now than kick the can down the road to make my kids try to figure it out.  Appreciate your continued support Ballroom.

This is a very good forgery but if you see some  letter in Hendrix handwtitting and Noel and Mitch signatures, you can see that is a fake item.

Thank you for taking a look sharing your knowledge Mr Mojo Risin.  I am sure there are many "tells" from someone who knows these signatures but the connection between the "en" in "Hendrix" gave me the most concern.  Appreciate your help as always.

I'm sorry Ballroom doesn't comment on the previous forum and tell Keisthspoon that not all Hendrixes are fake ... and I'm sorry you don't answer my thoughts since I know Hendrix's musical history.

He didn’t claim that all Hendrix signatures are fake, and I did ask him for examples. I don’t know what he’s looking at or what forger he’s referring to. I’d like to see some examples if that’s okay with you.

It bothers me a lot to hear a person saying that a forger can find an autographed book with the signatures of all the artists on Hendrix's first UK tour which are also rare (Cat Stevens, Walker Brothers, Engelbert Humperdinck) but without Hendrix's signature which is then made by the forger. But this is mega nonsense ... sorry.

I don't see only the autograph.. the autograph is a  very good forgery (hendrix signature) but there are more not correct letter in the dedication... and mitch and noel are total bad
