you should be able to find other Lewis signatures to compare with these; in general his signature is usually never as clean so I would not be surprised if they are part of the book. I would see what the age of the book is and go from there as well, little research will help.

I haven't heard of faux/pre-printed Louis signatures for that book, so that shouldn't be the issue. Yours clearly is not a stamp, as you can see overlapping of ink. I'm not aware that Louis used an autopen or such. It should just come down to if the signature is genuine.

Hi Rick,
I found this listing in the above referenced catalogue... Sounds like yours could be legit if it fits the description given ie: date, first edition, etc. Hope this helps! |

Rick,
I found one in a Heritage auction that sold for $239.00 on June 14, 2009. See pictures below! Hope it helps! |

Beautiful. That's three from the same book with three distinct but similar signatures, so I'm declaring victory. Thanks to all of you for your expertise!

Four. I had a hand signed copy from the estate of his trainer (Mannie Seamon).

Hi,
I also have the same book with a tipped in signature that I bought from a reputable dealer. I believe them to be legit. |
