Sometimes in the year 1982 am got by request, from spaceman USA L.G. Cooper a
his answer. Doesn't know whether that is and or isn't autograph. Is that a special.Picture is it seems by hand painted, in caulk also. Comed in envelope from firm WED imaginlering Glendale/Golden State. Stamp on envelope with date - Jun 28, 82. It is possible it account autograph? Have a look please upon this pages. |

The signature seems authentic as it seems to have been hand-written... it is quite close to his autopen pattern but there seems to be some slight differences.Best Wishes, Shane! |

Looking at this page and doing the Google translation from Czech, I am assuming (although I may be wrong) that Daniel is not asking about the two images at the top, but the bizarre (and in places obscene) "artistic" work lower down the page, which purports to be a Cooper signed sketch. Shane and Ken, do you believe that to be authentic too? Daniel may not be fully aware of what it all means in English... |

Thanks for pointing that out... well the signature on the painting certainly doesn't look like any Gordo Cooper autographs I've ever seen - it doesn't look authentic to my eyes anyway! |

That artwork is clearly NOT done by Cooper. I am surprised Robert didn't take it off cS. |

Like others, I didn't see the sketch when I quickly browsed the link. Given it is not safe for all audiences, I have removed the link to it from Daniel's original post. If I understand Daniel's post, he says he received the autograph(s?) from Gordon Cooper in 1982 when the former astronaut worked at Walt Disney. Daniel, are you saying you received the sketch in the mail or is that unrelated? |

Was there a sketch of Cooper signed? All I saw were signed stamp issues that looked fine to me. Why is the sketch no longer available to click on to? |

The sketch included material that was decidedly adult in nature. Our community includes members for which the image may not be appropriate.With regards to the autograph on the sketch, here it is without the surrounding art:  |

Lt. Gordon Cooper? Why would he sign an autograph Lt.(Lieutenant) when he retired as a Colonel (Col.)?He even was picked as an astronaut as a Captain which is higher than Lieutenant. Whoever signed it obviously didn't know what they were doing. |

After seeing Cooper's name somewhere the 'signer' probably mistook the L. (as in Leroy) as Lt. and wrote it that way. |

Daniel has edited the image of the sketch so as to blur the objectionable wording, making it safe to link to again. |
