    Original Signature or stamped?

    Hey all,
    Selling a small grouping on the e-stand, and a potential buyer asked about a sig. At first I thought it was stamped, but closer inspection shows it might be hand-signed.

    Unfortunately, I'm working on my old computer, so the attached scans aren't the best. There are some points where it looks like it may be indicative of hand-signing, but it's not conclusive to me.

    If any judgment can be made regarding the signature with these scans, would be glad to hear the opinions.

    Thank you in advance,
    Hank

    First off, the whole doc.

        Another, once again lighter to try and highlight the darkest points of ink

          That is quite a difficult one to call. The dark pieces of ink may just be where there is more ink on the stamp or caused by how the stamp is pressed and then lifted. I'd err on the side of caution and agree with your first thought that the signature of Bodewin Keitel is stamped.

            For me it stands a good chance being Hand signed, Cross overs.

              Id side with Justin .

              The dark and light areas represent the subtle inconsistent ink flow of a fountain pen and the "crossovers" as Justin mentioned.

                Do some research and see if Keitel ever employed an "autopen".

                It might possibly be a stamp, with ink flows appearing as crossovers. Imho.

                I couldn't say that it is 100% original signature, but I'm sure the experts here could give a much better guess.

                  Hmm, autopen...that's a possibility I hadn't considered.

                  I'll leave descripton as-is. Should the grouping sell, the buyer might get a bonus of an original signature.

                  Thanks to all for your thoughts/opinions.

                  best

                    I don't think it is hand signed, the "." above the "I" is to perfect, it is in a straight line from the begin of the letter "T".

                      It's not an easy call on the images provided. However, I do not see obvious the crossovers that Justin does. I would lean towards a printed signature, but proper magnification would decide.
                      Max.
