"Rough calculations suggest that 200 hours under a certain UV lamp at a certain distance could achieve about 60 years worth of oxidation."

"These appear as poor malicious forgery, not something signed e d on their behalf."
"Bogus...These were "drawn"...not "signed""
"It is not a good choice of dealer but it is not suprising. In Norway the knowledge about autographs are minimal, and if the seller has a big record collection for sale as well the dealer would be perfect to sell to."
"The signatures aren’t consistent with any secretarials I’ve ever seen. Does it sound reasonable that the owner held onto it for 60 years and then consigned it to a record dealer that doesn’t deal in autographs? Any major auction…"

"My guess is UV radiation from a lamp along with more simple kitchen table techniques could accomplish this. The presentation does seem a bit overcooked here. Very curious to hear the opinions of others."
"I couldn’t tell you. I don’t know if they were artificially aged, if they’re older forgeries, or if the ink looks less aged in person. I’m judging the appearance of the signatures in which all four appear slowly and crudely…"
"The are very rudimentary forgeries."
