Yes, it is a fake, but kind of an "official" fake. It's probably a Schirra "secretarial signature" applied by his secretary. I received one in this style _many_ years ago from a request I sent for Schirra's autograph to his office. So the seller, while offering a fake, is not a forger & is probably unaware that it is a bogus signature. Bob Mc. |
