This may be a stamped file copy of a genuine document, but the image is poor and heavily degraded so a better one is needed. The signature looks like it was signed by Lennon to me and it's the right period but that doesn't matter if the document is a copy of course.

Thank you, 1-2-3-FAW What site is that on please? The one in the OP is such a poor image there's no way to ge a good look at it.

It was from the Omega Auction website. I just thought it odd that Yoko signed that document, but something perhaps just as important is that the OP was not. It could very well happened that way, but the OP looks sketchy on it's own. Just my thoughts and input. It may be legit, but does look like a copy. March 2023 was the Omega Auction date.

Thanks. Omega is not an auction house I'm comfortable with.

The document you posted is to Barklays Bank regarding 2 bank accounts John and Yoko had. Her signature was included as an exemplar where John tells Barklays that as of that date, only Yoko and John were authorized signers on the accounts.

John's signatures on both are common examples from the mid-70s and look great to me. I can't tell for sure if the document you posted is original or a copy, though, as clear as it is. Someone who knows Lennon's docs better probably can.

1-2-3 FAW, the doc you posted does look original to me.

This letter from June 1, 1976 looks legit to me (at least both Lennon' signatures looks fine). The letter from June 22, 1976 - signature looks fine, however it's really hard to tell for sure because of the quality of pic.

In the original letter, the body of the letter seems lighter than the date and recipient's details.

Perhaps a printed form letter with customized derails added as necessary?
