John Lennon Autograph

Good day everybody,

I have been a long time collector of autographs. Mostly Disney hero's and old Hockey (I am from Canada). I bought a couple of books by John Lennon and about John yesterday at a thrift shop sale. The two that I wanted where "In his own Write" and "Spaniard in the Works". The others were trade paperbacks on his life. I opened Spaniard and was surprised to see the following autograph. With the assumption that everything is wrong till proven otherwise I would like our opinions on the authenticity.

Thanks

Dave

I'm not liking it, I worry about the Lennon part especially - never seen that before.

"...With the assumption that everything is wrong till proven otherwise..."

Admirable statement! Excellent attitude. The "E" and looped "o" and all. Not good.

I believe it to be an authentic John Kinnion autograph.

I took that to be a poor "E" not a "K".

Perhaps. But, what is more likely in this context, a forgery of John Lennon or a "signature" of one John Kinnion, with no dotted "i's" and a very unusual "K"? I'm going with the former. I just realized you are using two "n"'s as in "Lennon" - there doesn't seem enough letters to make "Kinnion" anyway. If this is a genuine and unrelated signature it looks awfully hesitant.
