I've looked at some old ones, even when he just signed "Richard" there was no dot on the i, and even the quickest scribbled ones have letter definition. The one here looks nothing like anything I have seen him do, other than it being a poor attempt at a copy.

Richard has stopped signing items sent in of late, so surprised to see an item sent coming back. The signature looks off to me as well. I was discussing in another thread that he has sometimes had to reduce his signature to "R Armitage" when dealing with large amounts of mail, but I have never seen the "A" lose it's shape that, where this one is a line, the "R" is also dubious in my eyes for the same reasons, and I am fairly sure the dot of the "i" is unusual to say the least.

As I said... strange one.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking too... Then again this person sent in Feb. I saw people who sent theirs in from Dec.-Feb. getting their photos signed. He must've forgotten to send it off and someone at his house probably found it... I think anybody who sent theirs in from March got a pre-signed...
I'm not suspicious of the signature as I've seen lots of his IPs from fan girls at premieres look even worse than this. I don't think he's a consistent signer...considering neatness and all.
