Got this as being autopen, but think the signature is genuine....

I am not a expert but to my eye I would guess this is autopen, based on appearance of lines at the end of ink lay-down.

Perhaps a more skilled and recognized judge can also weigh in...

It doesn't match either of these autopen patterns.

It looks okay to me and I have a few similar signature patterns like this as well.

Dr. Lenoir only had a single autopen signature from NASA that I know of, however, in person autographs of the early scientist astronaut and one-time shuttle flyer do vary somewhat.

This longer-type version, I believe, were some of his earlier samples, but in person
signatures are usually shortened and many signed as "W B Lenoir."

At present, and to the best of my knowledge, I know of no secretarial signatures applied for him.

All times are CT (US)
