Bowie Signature - Looking for Thoughts and Opinions

Hi all,

I recently bought a copy of Low, and to my surprise when I got home to play it there was a signature on the vinyl label. To my uneducated eye, it looks like a "Bo" signature from around the 1995-2005 era. 

This is truly an odd spot for a musician to sign - I've never seen anything like it. It also has the interesting quirk of the signee having to avoid the punch hole and perforation in the middle of the label. I know Bowie was left handed and his signature tended to slant downward from left-right, but the hole would have compromised his ability to do that, forcing him upward. 

Attached is a photo. Any of your thoughts are appreciated!!

Cheers.

Eric is the expert here on Bowie, and I have to agree,  not signed by David. Still, a great album!

Awww...thanks Eric.

Well as everyone has correctly confirmed it is not a genuine Bowie. The sad thing is, it has actually devalued that great LP as it has defaced it (same as someone putting their own name or initials on a record).
