Richard Nixon Signature

Looks like gel pen, what to look for in Nixon signatures? It is a cut and I do not have a date contex. Any thoughts community?1%20Nixon%20victory%20Arms%20%283%29.JPG

That is my best close-up.

With this signature you see the edges having some bleed and does that indicate a non-autopen. also the variance in the thickness of the lines, would that indicate how a hand/wrist may move when signing?

There is no reason an Autopen can't bleed. Perhaps the paper sizing was old. But this does look mechanical.

I personally am not so much worried about autopen (but who knows), but I am not certain that it is not secretarial. Too bad there is no context about origin, as knowing when it was signed would be very helpful.

The general form is that of Nixon's, though.
