This appears to be an attempt at tracing one of Young's autopen patterns.
I could be mistaken, of course.

I believe it's still an autopen, remember sometimes the Autopen machine makes mistakes and extra loops, too. Not all Autopens are 100% identical.

Sorry, but I must disagree.

There are just too many distinct differences between the two for any slippage by the autopen machine to account for.
I think the only way for the signature on the cover to be an autopen is if it is a heretofore unknown autopen pattern - - or at least one I'm not aware of.

Autopen vs. traced? It seems to have a drawn appearance and slow pen speed and slight pen wobble. Need to see original to be sure.
either way, I'd pass on it.

Indeed Chet, not autopen.
