Also, there's no ageing. A very carefully protected and stored piece may show little or no ageing after 40 years but this remarkably fresh.

+1 The whole ting looks suspect. Cared for very carefully but made in such a poor way? It is not trimmed from a letter apparently, so why at all?

I with I had my IP from that party!

I would also say that it looks rather carefully written and certain parts look a little odd - e.g. the "urn".  Compare it to to this one of mine that I drag out in every discussion of her signature from this period:

Exactly. I saw the same.

That seems wrong for the intended period IIRC.

Hi Eric, forgive my ignorance but what does IIRC mean? Is there an intended period?

Sorry Eva - If I recall correctly". I was noting the abbreviated last name seems a bit later?

Hi 

I can see what you mean, but I think the autograph could be okay.

I found these 2 authenticated autographs on ebay, and I see some resemblance with the one I thinking of buying.

Those appear far more recent (last one certainly). Let's say it is authentic (you say "could be"). It is atypical, pasted to a five sided brown board, trimmed tightly in the shape of a blimp and can't be matted. The color and age are  - unusual. Again, cared for very carefully but made in such a poor way? It is not trimmed from a letter apparently, so why at all? Odd item. Fitting a budget is great and admirable, but if you cut too many corners you wind up with a circle.

I'm amazed that the first of the two examples passed Beckett authentication. I don't think I've seen one quite like that before. The "H" is particularly odd.

The second example seems right but is much later as Eric notes.

I did not really look at the first - too atypical for me.
