I have never had a Smith signature but according to Ron Keurajian's book, most Smith signatures offered in the marketplace are forgeries and his three illustrations of Smith signatures concur with your opinion of the H and i not being connected. His book also shows a dot over the i on all three illustrations which is seemingly not present in your illustration.
