I’m personally not a fan of this one, it kinda looks like a banana mantle to me but I’m no expert, there are quite a few members on here that are more knowledgeable then I when it comes to micks signature, let’s see there opinions

I hate to say it but I agree with 007. It's a well-known forgery style from that period. The collector you bought it from may not have known that it was not real. If the seller is still reachable, and sold it to you thinking that it was real, perhaps they'll give you a refund. That's a sign of an honest seller.
