    Bad Hitler Signature?

    This RK document is currently offered on the Ruptured Duck. I can't seem to match the Hitler signature with anything he signed during this period and would love to solicit other opinions on this as well.

    When spending this amount of money, one has to be entirely happy and the only true method of authentication is physical examination. It's not just the signature one should examine, but the entire piece and good magnification is a must. However, based on the images posted here and the reputation of the seller, my initial assessment is that the document is authentic. I would love to confirm this by physical examination, but it's not always possible.
    The signature appears handwritten in ink and, although a little shaky, I believe it to be genuine. I would want to examine the original under magnification and carry out some tests before giving it my 100% backing, but on balance I would say it is OK. One should never rely entirely on comparison, but just use it as a guide. No person signs their name exactly the same twice...there are always variations, no matter how slight.
    I realize this isn't a definite answer, but we are talking about a large sum of money and one has to be sure. However, I hope this is of some help.

        No other opinions? Not even the original poster has replied.

          Sorry Max, I sometimes get lost in the maze this website has become. I appreciate the answer and it makes sense. I was just a bit taken aback by what looked like a totally different style of signature than what I had been used to seeing. I am trying to familiarize myself with uncle A's signature as I currently have no genuine example in my collection and am wanting to add one. Thanks for the reply and sorry for my tardiness.
