Yes, sorry. Others may have a different opinion.

Modern abbreviated Pauls are a difficult area and much forged. Although I would not buy these without a Tracks or Frank C COA I am of the opinion these are Paul's handwriting.

I agree as well,these might be legit.

I'm not a fan of the short abbreviated examples so I would avoid them both.

Here is one of mine to compare with. I give these two the benefit of the doubt but not enough that I would invest money in them. My example came from the collection of Tom Fontaine and is featured in his book, plus carries a Frank C letter. That's the level of assurance I look for with anything as dodgy as modern abbreviated Pauls.
