What the seller states in the item description is in my opinion spot on.

The dark blue Cunningham and darker black Eisele signatures are autopens, but the other Cunningham and Eisele's are A-OK, as is the Schirra.

I sure don't like that "Wally Schuira" signature.

Edited to add that in my opinion, the bottom Eisele and the top Cunningham are both autopens.

A sad mixture of autopens and bad forgeries.

I thought the Wally was off I was wondering about the Eisele, I knew one was an autopen as was one of the Cunninghams?

I'm not completely sold on the top Eisele being real either. A couple things with it make me question it's authenticity.

The bottom Cunningham looks ok, but even if real, it's pretty much worthless due to its surroundings.

Shows what I know...

I've just had a second look at the item, and while the Schirra does indeed look bad, I still feel the Eisele and Cunninghams that aren't autopens look good.

Interesting item.
