I don't know Guillaume's autograph all that well, but the letters are more slanted in yours than I typically see in his writing, and his R loops are generally more rounded. There are likely variations I don't know though.

The OP and the specimen Steve Cyrkin provided do not look similar to me. I would say they were signed by different hands. JMO.

Im starting to think it’s fake. Oh well it’s just the voice of rafiki. I didn’t think people had the time to forge someone like that... I guess there are just next level losers.

What did the charge for it, Brandon? That's often a warning sign.
