Unless the good doctor can attest that he received it from Bray - or the handwriting can be closely identified with his known handwriting - each step beyond that increases "the leap of faith". I have no problem believing what he might say - as long as there's clarity as to exactly what the contention is......

I was actually going by that handwriting more than the possible signature on back but when I checked my exemplars that writing looked more like Barkers
. I had coupled that with knowing Mr. Lowe and knowing he was friends with all of those guys back in the day. If it isn't a Bray copy, it's not that big of a deal to me. I always only go by what can be proven too.
At worst case I will have another copy of the 1946 ACC...... and to that I am quite clear.
