Here's another Lee signed IP at this event with a different pen:

(this and the other photo I posted are from the same event and  different than the OP, at least to my eyes)

Dan - This thread did take a detour, as they sometimes do.

Do you have confidence in the source this is being offered at?

It's an auction house. they are hit and miss. Free returns, but I'd rather not waste my time if folks don't think it's reasonable example. I like the image, the contrast and signature is clean and think it would be great if it's real.

If they are hit and miss in your judgement, that may be an answer.  Especially so given all of the Dracula Lee stuff floating around in auction houses, eBay, dealers, etc..

All that you say about the ink, contrast and clean signature I also agree with.  As I said at the beginning, it's in the ballpark.  However, the more I look at it, the more it doesn't strike me as natural.  There's an awful lot of rightward lean to it.  It looks like someone was trying to imitate a Christopher Lee signature and just didn't quite hit the mark. Close though. The felt tip looks awfully fresh, but that would only be truly apparent if it was in hand to examine.
