Abraham Lincoln Signature - REAL or FORGERY

Hey Guys,

Another Lincoln auto for your to look at (see attached picture). I know the danger of clipped signatures. What do you guys think? Real deal or another rip off? Thanks!

I don't like it. It does not have a natural flow of any kind.

I am not a Lincoln expert in any way, just my opinion.

I agree looks very shaky.

Hard to tell because of the angle it was shot at and the reflection. Looks like it is likely good and was cut from a Interior Appointment co-signed by either Caleb Smith or more likely John Palmer Usher, both who were Lincolns Secretaries of the Interior. This could be definatively determined by finding an image of a full appointment and comparing it in terms of distance from the word "Interior" . Also could be a laser scan of an Original, no way of telling without inspection.
