Anyone recognize this autograph at all? I am really struggling with it. It was mixed in with a mish mash from the 1940's and 1950's. Some politicians, some entertainers, some boxers, baseball, etc...so really it could be any genre. To me it looks like the first name is "Count", and the last name looks like Zargnoff, or something of that nature, but I am really stumped on it. I love a good mystery autograph as much as anyone, but this one is driving me nuts not being able to figure it out. Any help appreciated.

Looks like Count Zargnoff to me, too. I googled that and found one mention of a wrestler

Thank you for the info. I did see that one originally, but I get this nagging feeling that I am just not seeing the name right. Every other autograph in the collection was from at least someone fairly famous, and they tended to either be Chicago, Boston, or New York inclined, with a few from London. I just didn't find enough about that name as a wrestler to feel like it's him. Plus, the name really has some flair in how it's written, as if he signed it many times like that, and I am just not reading it right. I do appreciate your taking the time to look it up and reply though, thank you. I am still thinking I am just not seeing the name right and it actually reads differently.

I dunno, looks like Count Zargnoff to me too, which sounded like a made up name. With three people reading it the same way, and then there actually being a real guy, from that time period, named Count Zargnoff? That's got my vote.
