Authenticity is Everything
Mechanical Forgeries based on an Authentic Exemplars. Beatles, Hendrix, Bowie (based on a fake)...
Hello All,
We have just seen an another example of forged Beatles signatures created by a mechanical device based on a set of authentic examples. I have discovered the following Bowie. I have seen Beatles, Hendrix, Bowie...what have you seen created by mechanical means or other from authentic examples?
EDIT TO ADD: The "Bowie" used here is not genuine - this is the work of "UKBlue". It has been suggested this is a stamp because of the pooled ink and lack of flow lines..

We don't know all the processes that are used. At one point, it was thought that the were signed by a mat cutter like the ones used by framing companies to cut intricate designs. They could easily be done by a plotter, or perhaps one of the new high-tech Autopens.
The people creating them aren't volunteering what they use.

so these machines are made at home instead of being bought prefabricated?

Sling,
I just checked the Thomas Guide and couldn't find the category "Forgery Tools & Supplies," so maybe so.
Actually, I think they're simply adapted from common equipment intended to be used for non-nefarious purposes.

Indeed, very scary. Thankfully, this "Bowie" stamp(?) is based on a fake signature!
