Sorry to open this can of worms again, and I am not looking to cause anyone any trouble but I stumbled onto these images yesterday while looking for a specific Harrison image on Google.

All 3 match the problem style from Cologne/New Jersey.

These seem to have all been sold by Paul Fraser.

Really glad Jan started this thread. Being from AW and that no one initially IDed any issues with this when I showed it initially on the forum, I figured it was okay. I bought a real mixed bag of stuff around that time period, and I guess this is just the latest bad egg discovery.

When you bought yours ....it was probably the first one seen online. As a single item it just looks like a Harrison Ford autograph, that he signed quickly on the move in the late 1990's.

Unfortunately these single oddball examples pop up all the time and they can be explained away as a one-off variation. Decades pass and you see a dozen of the same strange variety, and only then do you see the patterns of a forger.

Well, I guess I owe you one for doing so much homework and fixing a couple forgery issues at once for Jan and I.

And I agree.  There are a couple of autograph issues that were very well forged that had me scratching my head until I saw some trends, more shady sellers selling the same exact patterns again and again - and it was obvious what was going on.
