Hi, if you have a photoprogram lighten the image and increase the contrast a bit and you will see the stops and starts Steve is talking about. If on a laptop, try changing the angle of your screen. That was a large scan so it should show. It indicates uncertainty and/or slow speed/hesitation.

Stop and start marks, shaky, uneven ink flow, plus some other characteristics which are off.

Thanks, Steve for the info. Again I received this as a gift from my father and he made me believe it was authentic. My mother God Rest her soul always said he was a crook! Thank God he’s still alive. I can tell him it’s a fake and why. Thanks again

These forgeries have been sold to untold thousands of innocent victims. There's a very good chance that he didn't know it was not real. They even sold them through the military exchanges to soldiers, vets and their families.

In addition to the obvious forgeries, I thought it was interesting the Williams would be signing a photo of Dom Dimaggio.
