Put it this way, if I saw this on a flea market for £500 I'd probably take a gamble and go for it.

Could be a very good forgery but normally you wouldn't see such fluidity (e.g. in the "H") or spontaneity (e.g. in the dotting of the i). Also, I think a forger would have used a more typical "imi".

thanks Pug.  Is the  name Ann-Sofie Bergkvist  familiar to you in connection with Hendrix?

The name doesn't immediately ring a bell.

Here is mine for comparison.

I think it may be good, the H and e of Hendrix flow correctly as in my examplar.

Thanks.  Yours is much classier and nicer.  The one I posted is supposed to be a 1967 sig.  Do you know the date of yours please?

I think it's ok and I think it will go for well over the estimate but I do question that "value". Again with the fading - compares badly with Richard's example - and the condition of the paper is, unattractive. Not sure I could enjoy it so much but maybe I am being too picky.

admittedly I have not studied Hendrix before, but comparing this to known authentic examples, it looks good to me

This looks authentic to me. Here’s mine from November or December of ‘67:

The residue of two water/moisture events are visible and the bit at the sides appears paste.
