Presuming this is a live signature and not some sort of copy, there is a very high probability it is authentic in my opinion. I would have it in my collection with no doubts or concerns.

Hi Steve Zarelli! I were recommended by Steve Cyrkin to post in this thread, so I'll do just that... :-)

I'm trying to learn more about Neil Armstrongs autograph and would appreciate your help on this one! It looks a lot like the one above that member Hannah Zuerker asked about, but it's not as "sharp" and the signature is black instead of blue. Could it be a copy? Or maybe that just the quality of the scan...

Thanks for helping!

Jan - assuming it's not a copy, the Neil Armstrong signed stamp block you posted looks fine. I think yours is signed in blue the same as Hannah's... its probably just due to different scan settings. Maybe it was scanned as a document in "black and white" instead of a color photo?

Here is one from my personal collection as another reference.

Hi again Steve Z!

As I said, I'm trying to learn Neil Armstrongs signature. Am I correct thinking the attached one is authentic?

Thank you once again Steve, you have been very helpful!

For reference, here's the piece we discussed. I could just attach a pic earlier since I used my mobile phone:

I found this newspaper when I was cleaning out a closet. I acquired it along time ago and forgot that I had it. The signature, which looks fake to me, appears to have been added post-printing. However, the paper looks to be an original from Armstrong's hometown.

Any thoughts?
