I ran across this while on Craigslist (yes, Craigslist). I'm certainly not an expert but it doesn't look right to me. The seller is asking for cash or trade for rechargeable Ryobi batteries, so...

If it's an original signature (i.e. not a copy, reprint or tracing of some kind) it's good, in my opinion.

The signature is on stationary from Dr. Joseph Kutz who reattached Neil's finger after an accident at his home in the late 1970's.

Caught his ring finger on a nail in his barn door.

Edit: According to Wiki, it was the wheel on the back of his grain truck.

Speaking on his release from hospital:

"I didn't think it was news for a man to travel about half a million miles through space unharmed and then rip his finger off when his wedding ring caught on a door as he jumped off the back of a truck. Like all of us, I suppose, I incur routine injuries along the way."
