I was told by an eminent war historian that this signature is almost certainly Montgomery, albeit a hurried scrawl rather than his usual, much neater, signature. He thought that mainly because of…Continue

"This is an example of Monty’s signature pre dating his promotion to field Marshall. From 1944 onwards he would add FM or Field Marshall after his name. Then from 1946 he would usually sign as Montgomery of Alamein. He did sign as Monty…"
"And what are the other letters? After the so-called "M" what is that? The free floating "h"? No way."
"This can be picked up here.
This thread now serves no purpose I can see so I am closing it."
"He might sign thing frequently I don't know. I just expect him to use his own name. "
"Right. It's early for me. This is still not Monty's hand. It is obvious in my opinion. It appears to say "Richard". Why should it be so very different than other examples of the period?"
"Not Monty's signature rushed or otherwise. "
"Like I have already said. Monty did not write that note. It was written by the soldier concerned as was the norm. Monty, if indeed it was him, then signed it. And, as I have also said, the soldier in question spent a great deal of time with Monty…"

"Apart from the points Eric makes would someone as important as Monty have had time to have written a note like this? He was buzy fighting and winning one of the most important batles of the second world war in Egypt if my memorry is correct…"
"Whi is the eminent war historian? He does not appear to be an autograph collector. Just look at the "p's" in the handwriting. this is not Monty's hand. Sorry."
"You started abother thread? Unless I am missing something that looks nothing like his signature or his handwriting from a glance. I doubt he would have trouble writing "permission" or "Bahgdad". Here is an example from 1944. Look…"
"I posted it under Is this autograph real. I had paid no attention to the signature and would have had no idea who it was if asked. I was then told by an eminent military historian that it was almost certainly Field Marshal Montgomery. Albeit written…"
"The person the pass was for wrote it and then got it signed as is usual."
"You are also making assumptions about people, and where is the name? It's been an hour. Apparently you needed to be told who it was yourself, yes?"
"It makes NO diffrence to me if I know the name or not - it still going to be run through the same severe strainer of authentication, just as if it had PSA papers. I note the writer has had trouble with 3 words and there are seemingly odd pen lifts.…"
