Here's my Lee for comparison.  It was acquired in-person:

Eddy, that is a very fine and typical example from what I have seen. Nice photo!

If that is from the 1957 or '58 film, that movie kept my Mom awake nights! :-) She was just married.

The Christopher Lee Web was a legit reality.  This black one in the OP looks vintage and seems consistent with how he signed with a more blunt tipped marker.  I vote "YES"!

I thought yes too but not vintage, the style is his later:

I guess "vintage" is a relative term.   

I meant "vintage" in the sense of not having been created just last week by someone to slap up on eBay but rather signed 20 years ago as the sticker would indicate.   I see oxidation to the ink on the OP which might indicate it's been on that glossy photo for a couple of decades!

I see. I thought you meant style. I got called out for calling a 1980 Bowie vintage! Frank has called 1990's Ringo's vintage so I don't see a problem with that word in these contexts.

Izzy, if you want certification have you considered ACOA? Many sets of very good eyes here:

I just found this in my old files as well.  It's from a book signing event in 1997 on a postcard with a more blunt fiber type.  This would have been 7 years prior to the OP.   The crossbar over the "t" is angled a bit differently but is not a dealbreaker either way, imho. 

The more I look at it, the more and more I like yours, Izzy!
