It’s not retraced. Look at the second apostrophe in the little quote marks he made in the flourish or paraph after his signature. It’s just as dark as the stick in the T. To me it’s a normal fountain pen signature, and the ink flow, uneven pressure, and perhaps even some fading over time caused the stark discrepancy in tone.
