Hi all, little question for you.. In that particular case, it is more a graphology issue as the autograph is real, but the question is.. who from!

I have included several signatures on this image: on the first line are authentic signatures from King Louis XVI, on the second line are signatures from his secretary/ies (as him), and on the last line is the signature in question..

It doesn't quite look like either, and the seller lists it as "secretarial", but I am not so certain.. one has to take into account the fact that this is a letter from the king acknowledging (and sending along his official "patent letters" (law) establishing) the abolishment of hereditary nobility (which, of course, he must have -really- pissed off about).

What do you think? The King's messy signatyyre because he was angry? The secretary's? Or a mix of both? (the L from the king, and the secretary trying to manage to actually making it look like the king's, for once (which was never the case the other times))?

I'd really like your opinion about it before considering acquiring it.. Thanks!
