I am glad I could be a little bit of help here on this one guys. This is why it is great to have a community of collectors working together. I hope you can find a way to get your money back on this John. It really makes me sick to my stomach that it seems so easy to make copies the way they do, I think AML is great with guys like Eric, Steve, and Ballroom around here. 

Totally agree.  Thanks everyone.

I just got a chance to catch up here. That looks like a machine-signed forgery. The kind I first heard of from the UK in 2011-12.

They take a real autograph, scan it in using something like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, so they can convert the autograph to editable lines. They adjust some of the lines so the reproduction isn't completely the same as the original: notice how uniform the "L" of Paul is on the fake, where it's flatter on the left side of the original. Then they use perhaps an Autopen-type machine to sign it.

John, please take some even higher resolution images and save them as either PNGs or maximum quality JPGs. JPGs degrade images quality too much for analysis once you get below the maximum settings.

is this any better.  Sorry it's not in my presence anymore

The size is great, thanks, but the JPG image is too low quality to be able to for sure tell what's been done.

I can walk them through scanning it and I'll write a report that they can present to the charity. They can contact me directly.
