Signed Nirvana Autograph: Authenticity Opinions Please

Hi All,

I have the following signed photo that I was given in 94 by a member of the Radiohead crew. It was signed in a hotel in Paris in 94, so I was told, and has all four of the band members of that time on it, Kurt, Dave, Krist and Pat.

I don't have a letter of authenticity for it unfortunately and I wondered if it is worth getting properly appraised or if that will cost more than it is worth. It has a bit of damage on the photo where originally it was in a frame that was smashed.

More photo's here

Thanks for any thoughts.

Steve

Hi all, 

Had a private web appraisal and the verdict is this is a bad one.

The Pat Smear is the giveaway I am told.

Thanks

The Dave Grohl isn't any good and Pat Smear isn't representative of that time period either. Krist Novoselic looks comparable, but that's an easy forge, same as kurt. but with all signatures being of same size and same pen pressure, this just doesn't seem possible that this is authentic IMO.

Here are some Nirvana Examples for your comparison:
