I don't know her vintage signature well, but it looks like this extra round C can sometimes be found on other/similar fan club letters which came through the mail. (See: attached)

I also compared the "Danny" to some stuff of her actual handwriting, and her writing seemed to match pretty well.

Tough to say.

In my opinion the "c" formation looks off and wrong in size compared to the other letters. The two "loves" don't match. Here is a 78 signature

It is indeed whack looking. Do you think it was a TTM fudge or just a modern fudge on an old postcard?

It seems that authentic examples have a larger,not so perfectly circular "C". That 78 postcard could be a secretarial? Could be some old fudge-they did a lot of writing and preprinting on the vintage fan club postcards and photos. I have a lot of them.

Makes sense. The only time I've seen the C like this are on these 2 examples.

Yes, old fudge as Danny's on the address label

Ok this may be a silly question, but what do you mean by "old fudge"?

Sorry, I was just being ridiculous using that word and Robert went along, haha. We just mean a forgery. And more likely an old one, like a secretarial sent through the mail to fans back in the late 70s.
