Fake or Real Signature

[Cabbs]

Hi,

Is someone able to tell me if this Arthur Greiser signature is real.

It is from the SJS Militaria website.

Thank you

It's handwritten but can't say if it is his or not. However a small tip when collecting autographs, without clear proof or authentication, try to stay away from loose paper slips with signatures. They are the most faked material with fake signature and easily pasted on other material or to add extra material, also fakers try to train their fake signatures as much as possible on such slips before adding it on real postcards etc. The fake factory (who released a lot of fake signatures worldwide and many dealers sadly have them on their website) use most of the time the same signature per individual (no variation in the writing) so you can check for yourself. A very good website to help you out is: wartimeautographs.com. I myself will also list wartime and postwar signatures in my shop and I (will) have to do a lot of authenticating before adding it to my shop. It's a minefield and you can easily see it, many dealers have fake signatures, sadly.

Good advice and thanks for the link .

I would hazard that this is not good, however this is not a fake factory signature, far too sloppy to be one of theirs.
You can see where the writer has stopped multiple places in doing this.

True, it isn't a fake factory, I gave an example when people collect or will collect signatures they can spot the ones from Fake Factory as seem to only use one signature per individual on most of the items. Thanks, Paul and Morris. Hope to hear and see more from you guys.

We have a signed photos thread, with probably almost a thousand photos in it, check it out ! Lots of good examples of wartime and post war.
