Close. But, I still have my doubts. There are several atypical characteristics.

This is a photocopy of the signed item. I deal with an elderly gentleman who does not use a computer. He has collected since his childhood. He photocopies the autographs I am interested in and sends me the copies through the mail ( he is old school). This way I can do my own research and study before buying.

I can read nothing from the original image, sorry. Scanning in color provides a LOT more information. These images are not good enough for me to comment on with any meaning.

Yes. It is like looking through fog and glass in b/w. All one can see is form.

Here is another example of a proper color scan - note you can read the paper texture, creases, depth of signature, slight variations in the ink, where the pen rotated a bit, what this all did to the paper etc.

You will definetly need to click to see this full image - and keep clicking - it is tremendous.
