John Wayne Help

[John Gurk]

Hello autograph friends. I have been collecting John Wayne signatures for over 25 years now. The item that started my obsession is a signed Hondo photo inscribed to "Dave", my middle name. This was purchased from a very well known California dealer from which I hold a lifetime LOA. As I built my collection over the years, I would talk myself into believing that it was authentic, but as my exemplars build my confidence in this piece diminishes. I must sadly admit that I now feel that the signature is a secretarial. I would love to get a few more opinions. Thank you all so much! John Gurk                         john%20wayne%20dave.JPG

IMHO it is a Secretarial Signature.

Could this be a pre-print?

Hello all. I received a full refund of my funds for the Hondo photo that was purchased in 1995! Thanks for all the input!
