McCartney Signatures

[schlorge]

First post - Interesting site I must say. I spent the past two days mulling over many threads. I had heard of the PID theories, but never really paid much attention to it, until this past weekend when I stumbled across the site.

I imagine that this topic may have been researched, but I did not find a thread on it.

While browsing through the multitude of threads I ran across a link to the smoking gun that included a legal document (affidavit) signed by McCartney in late 1998.

I then searched for other McCartney signatures prior to 1966. The majority of signatures include the full name, which is a normal thing to do for autograph purposes, but I found a link to an older signature and the similarities are amazing.

I would tend to trust the authenticity of the signature on the affidavit due to the legalities of the document. If any members are handwriting experts, it would be interesting to have a professional opinion reported.

I'm also not to sure how easy it is for people to copy signatures, especially when many of the autographs are written in haste and on a random basis.

Hi

I took a close look at the legal document verses the real signatures of the early Beatles and I question the Abbey Road one because it is very hard to see it, but the others is quite obvious.

You can almost tell right away and not need a expert here. Paul McCartney signatures always has a special loop at the Y and his P's are quite specific, and the rest of his name has a certain format which when compared is identical.

That legal document supposingly by Paul or Faul is a fake one. That is not the real Paul signatures.

In case many of you people do not know signatures of individuals is a dead give away as it is very hard to duplicate ones handwriting unless you have such a talent and the artistic touch to do it right the first time which is impossible to do unless it is the genuine person.

Also getting even a autograph from the faker today is still somehow showing up but it is much different than the early years up to 1966 of which by the way it started changing almost overnight and that is next to impossible and maybe that person is not that worried?.

My handwriting for the most part has remained consistent over the years and I am sure yours are too.

Great piece of work here and this is another piece of strong evidence of the faker being exposed step by step.

In fact folks getting any autograph by any of the alleged Beatles being the imposter today is a dead must get signature. That signature will tell you if the person is a fake or not. Most preferred is on a flat piece of paper or document that has enough room for them to write without compressing their true handwriting. Then compare that signature to the previous ones and you will know. If it looks nearly identical for the most part from the old to the new then more likely the person is genuine. If there is a great departure of the new from the old then that person is an imposter albeit of the odds of handwriting changes over the course of time and such can be verified etc.

You cannot duplicate handwriting unless after a great deal of practice and even after all that practice and work these experts who can write such even find it difficult to maintain same originality of it.

You can copy original handwritings to other documents but experts can easily spot this almost right away and some can tell if it is a copied document on the spot without needing an expert.

That is why I said this is a great piece of work you did.

To get the faker to sign today is next to impossible as I am told and also from the genuine authenticators as well. No signature from the faker in almost 10 years. Strange huh.
