I will take a guess, and it is a guess since its your discussion. It looks like same pen. I think forgery but don't really know anything about RS sec. Copy? Hard to tell.

I'm going to agree with Ian. I think this may have been done by the same hand.

I don't like the look of them. Look at the Mick in both Taylor and Jagger, exactly the same. Charlie never signed that neat either!

Charlie must have had the shakes and been signing very slowly. I agree with others, same pen and same hand

Thanks for the opinions so far. For comparison, an absolutely authentic set of Mick Taylor era Stones signatures is pictured here:

I've got this one in my exemplar file from long ago. I think that it was on eBay. Good or not, it's the only example of the band from this era that I've ever seen where all signed on one item. I was able to see this lineup live in 1972 and they were awesome.

Would have to say it doesn't look quite right and have never seen Charlie sign like this, normally a lot more narrow. Would have to maybe think this is a forgery.

There have been other questionable signatures I've seen in the last year on appointment books from the late 60's, early 70's.  It wouldn't be that hard for a forger to obtain these and use these to further his/her claims of authenticity.  And for JJ -- here is another example of a fully signed on one item Stones set from the Mick Taylor era. 1 of only 75 signed lithographs for the "It's Only Rock and Roll" album.

Very nice, Bruce! I didn't even know that there was such an item. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the opinions. I also believe that the original set is written in the same hand, and not by any of the Stones.

Thanks for the link! Now we know what the signatures in question are based on. It looks like the signed card at the end is authentic?
