I'm not commenting much on authenticity of Elvis right now, but the signature on the contract looks as real as it gets to me, and Karsten said it's a live signature. Is anyone concerned about it?

The signature is real and is easy to see... The problem is the same... Elvis or his father signed these contracts? I think Elvis but ...

As you said Tiziano, the signature is real and is easy to see. Looks not like Vernon‘s handwriting. In my opinion it is a typical nice good looking Elvis signature.

Thank you Steve for the interesting facts about the typing machine. So under Elvis signature it reads „1 copy to micro“. And backside „Per Tom - File in ... ??? Can you read it Steve?

I saw the front but not the back, Karsten. The "micro" instruction on the front is how I realized what the copy stamp referred to.

Thanks Karsten. The COPY stamp and notation to go to microfilm could have been years later, after the contact was no longer in force.

Microfilm was typically used for archival purposes. What are you trying to figure out?

The contract was signed on May 25, 1963. The stamp is May 29, 1963. The notation under it looks like instructions telling a clerk in his office what to file it under: souvenir sales.
