I just purchased an Jim Irwin signed litho from a second-hand store for fairly cheap ($29). Just wondering what your thoughts are on the inscription and signature. It appears to look different than his typical pre-printed inscription "His Love from the Moon". Also, "Delta" could either be a person's name or perhaps referring to Mt. Hadley Delta? Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your thoughts and opinions. I value your expertise. It does say "23 Sept 82". The inscription "His Love from the Moon" appears to be hand written. I'm not 100% positive though. It looks different than the common pre-printed inscription. Any thoughts? |

It looks genuine to me. I think it's inscribed to someone named Delta and the date is 23 Sept 82. In any event, the signature is good.I'd buy these all day at $29. Great Deal! |

My understanding is the quote, "His love from the Moon" is done by an autopen while the inscription name and the signature are by the astronaut. |

You do usually see the pre printed, "His Love Form The Moon" on most lithos, but in this case it does seem to be all hand written. |
