That seems very cheap. But the signature is certainly fine.

Himmler's signature was very distinctive. Look at the two upstrokes on the H's - how they angle slightly differently. See also the way the downstroke on the 'i' is done twice. There are other features which are very peculiar to his hand, and which are always the same, and very difficult to copy with a naturally flowing script. Forgeries of Himmler's autograph are usually very 'laboured', and do not have these characteristics. It takes more than 'spiky' writing to make a Himmler signature. Even the famous 'Hitler Diaries' forger failed to master it, when he produced fakes of all the famous Nazi signatures for newspaper reporters from his prison cell. His Himmler forgery was laughable (as were his Hitler ones).
