Hi Steve,

Thanks for the fast answer. what is your assessment in percent that it is authentic?

Take care

Presuming this is a live signature and not some sort of copy, there is a very high probability it is authentic in my opinion. I would have it in my collection with no doubts or concerns.

Hi Steve Zarelli! I were recommended by Steve Cyrkin to post in this thread, so I'll do just that... :-)

I'm trying to learn more about Neil Armstrongs autograph and would appreciate your help on this one! It looks a lot like the one above that member Hannah Zuerker asked about, but it's not as "sharp" and the signature is black instead of blue. Could it be a copy? Or maybe that just the quality of the scan...

Thanks for helping!

Jan - assuming it's not a copy, the Neil Armstrong signed stamp block you posted looks fine. I think yours is signed in blue the same as Hannah's... its probably just due to different scan settings. Maybe it was scanned as a document in "black and white" instead of a color photo?

Here is one from my personal collection as another reference.

Hi again Steve Z!

As I said, I'm trying to learn Neil Armstrongs signature. Am I correct thinking the attached one is authentic?

Your help is much appreciated!

Thank you once again Steve, you have been very helpful! 

For reference, here's the piece we discussed. I could just attach a pic earlier since I used my mobile phone:

I found this newspaper when I was cleaning out a closet. I acquired it along time ago and forgot that I had it. The signature, which looks fake to me, appears to have been added post-printing. However, the paper looks to be an original from Armstrong's hometown.

Any thoughts?

Your reaction to the signature is correct.

Not sure about the newspaper itself. It's entirely possible replica editions were produced in mass quantity.
