these are difficult to authenticate but there is something about this one that looks off.

P is too stiff and it looks like the marker slowed down on the downswing of the L, I would say no.

I don't think so either. It does look stiff and carefully drawn.

Thanks for your opinions terrier, mike & ballroom. Had doubts about this one too.. Never a fan of this style.

I don't think so either...the line from the P to the a actually stops in a point before continuing. Paul's are always very smooth and I've never seen angles in the a of his first name. I think the bit after the M is off too.

It's an interesting piece. The forger was obviously aware of the elements looked for in a genuine McCartney, but his execution wasn't good at all.
