Hi Alex,,

Sorry to report that yet again the Page autographs are horrible forgeries. The bottom 2.9 MB photo of Page's autograph was penned by the same forger who forged this picture you asked about earlier:

Luckily this forgers Jimmy Page's are pretty horrible and they are very easy to spot b/c of how long and big the signatures are. Not taking into account of course that the formation is totally off. And i have seen this same style of forgery before, which sparked me to do a little research. But before i go any further, Alex can you please tell us where these items you are asking about are coming from?? 

Interestingly enough, another user on this site asked about a Zepp piece not too long ago that had the same style of Page forgery on it. Here it is: I asked the poster to get back to me with a reply of where it came from, so hopefully will hear back on that soon.

So i looked around some more and noticed the same forger selling signed Plant and Page sheet music all over the site eli.com. Here are a few examples of the same forger / forger style at work:

I am going to be doing some more research on this to see if i can find where exactly these are coming from. But Page signatures of this style are as fake as they come. I havent started to compare the Plant signatures between the pieces above, but i plan on doing that in the next few days. I imagine we will see that the Plant items match up as well most of the time, showing the same foger/forgery style at work.

You really would think that the Page forger would at least study Jimmy's signature for 5 minutes before scribbling this stuff. Anyway i hope this helps or now, and i will be returning to this soon.

Carl

And here are the 2 Page signatures in question that you have asked about, one after the other for easy comparison. I didnt include the top Page signature (2.1 MB) b/c its not exactly the same forgery style. Dont get me wrong, its a horrible forgery as well, just not exactly in the same style. I wish i could use paint to some degree so that i could post these side by side, but im technologically deficient. But they are obviously from the same forger.
