apolloprojeckt | Can someone say of this is real signed photos? |
Chuckster01 | If the photos on this site are not authentic they are the work of a skilled forger. They look good to me. |
spaced out | These make me very nervous indeed. All on matching apparently modern 20x15cm prints, including some very rare signed images... Maybe I'm being paranoid but my first impression is that they're probably all fakes. If you look at the enlarged images there's noticeable wobbling/hesitation in the loop which in real signatures would be the smoothest parts of a signature. I'd be happy to be over ruled by someone with more expertise but I wouldn't go near these personally. |
Mike Dixon | No way on my opinion. The Armstrongs are a joke for starters. |
Panther494 | I agree with all the concerns above. I would steer clear. |
Steve Zarelli | These are all terrible fakes. Look closely and you will see unusual "chugging" effect in the "signatures." In my opinion, these were signed by a machine. The chugging effect is plainly evident on the Apollo 11 piece. |
fredtrav | So Steve, is it possible that they now have autopen machines that can scan and copy from a real signed photo or litho and "sign" another piece with the same signature? |
Steve Zarelli | It's not just possible, it is certainly happening and has been for a while. Crooks have been using unauthorized Autopens and plotters to create forgeries. Often they will use an authentic signature for the template. These examples appear especially crude. Perhaps some sort of stencil or they don't know how to properly use the machine. |
Chuckster01 | If you are a fan of the Simpson you will understand "D'oh!" |
apolloprojeckt | Thank you for the information!!! |
Ken Havekotte | By all means stay away from all of them that I seen. Many are way off from known characteristics and note "the size" of the signatures as they all seem to be from the same hand/machine. Most are really bad in my opinion even though the forger is trying to duplicate the signature patterns, but no cigar! |
