Thoughts please on this Dave Scott signed piece. I purchased this in a lot of autopens, but at a closer look it doesn’t match the autopen patterns I have access to. My untrained eye thinks it might be authentic.

Without doing some homework my first impression is legit.

My provisional assessment is also that it looks legit - or at least it doesn't look like an autopen.

I am not a professional signature analyst but my take is that it is likely authentic. If it is helpful, here is a photo straight from my Alan Bean Hammer and Feather print:

Thanks all for the input, that's three out of three.

I also took advantage of Stave Zarelli's online review/preview email opinion and his response was "likely to pass full authentication." A very useful service, thanks Steve.

The item has now found a new home, happy days.
