First off, Merry Christmas to everyone and their families. Next, can I get some opinions on this Mantle graph? Is it authentic?
Thanks for your help,
Mike

I'm a novice, but I don't like the "i" on first glance. It seems as if it is almost part of the M.

Novice but learning. Definitely not. No flick on the second "M".

I was toying with making an offer for it earlier, but I just checked and it's already been sold anyway. Thanks for the opinions.

I don't think the tick on the second M is essential. It's nice to have, but it is not always there on authentic signatures. What you want to see is an overall appearance of a quickly signed signature and interaction between letters. It can manifest itself in other ways besides the tick on the M.
