Is this the template that was used to forge the set in the OP?

Here’s the OP on eBay for $15K OBO:

I would say so. Good spotting.

Thanks. It looks like the forger had trouble figuring out the formation of the “F” in Paul’s “Of”.

This is what comes up for me in the eBay listing for the OP. They certainly got that right.

They even copied the heavy pen spot on the top of the first C  of Mccartney.

they actually turned it into a loop, which is highly unusual.

+1 well spotted.

Excellent comparison. Check the Xs  below each signature in the right hand set. The angle of execution of the Xs is different in every signature when compared to the same signature in the genuine set on the left.  Attention to detail or the lack thereof will get you every time.

Nevertheless - the autographs are very good. Only a A/B gets you small differences.

My main concern at the start of this discussion was the story as the overall style/look was good - and this template wasnt perfect either / has uncommon bits, too.

One thing that really sticks out to me is the “F” in Paul’s “Of”. It looks like there was an attempt to copy the confusing formation, but it’s very different.
