Unfortunately all those above look fake. Freddie 's is closest to approximately right. But the M is uncomfortably far from the rest of his name and the F was not done comfortably and fast..it's so short and unstructured to look as from someone deliberately hesitating their every move. Freddie's F's were high capped. ..this one looks horrendous like a cross.
The letters individually look too high representation wise from the initial F.... even if rushed; there'd be some downward linear composition. This looks like deliberate "artifice", which it off course is.
I hope this was a joke.
John's tends to be boxy. M..this one is not. It looks ENTIRELY DISREGARDED FOR ACCURACY.
Roger's doesn't hit any of the appropriate heights. It has no high R or T And doesn't look squiggled.....something that happens naturally when signing many autographs (*which is where most are acquired; whether a table of them at fan club meetings or 300 waiting at the door)
...and the MOST EASILY ACCESSIBLE SIGNATURE: BRIAN ... is horribly off.
No flow.
Horrible forgeries with a complete requisite useless certificate[/QUOTE]
You may be on the right track here, or you could be over analysing this.
I have all four autographs, from 1979 (not for sale) I was present when they were signed at different times on the same day. A friend of mine got Brian's autograph at the stage door of the Dominion, I was present then so I know it's genuine, it looks very different to mine from 79.
An ex girlfriend was a jeweller who worked with silver and gold. She made a small gold piano for Freddie in the mid 80's. She recieved a hand written letter from Freddie shortly afterwards praising her work, his signature on the letter was slightly different to mine.
What I'm getting at is that these were all the real thing but when compared to each other it would be very easy and quite logical to assume that in each case one was fake.

I hear ya.
Deacon 's changed over time. I remember a site back when which showed era autographs from the band.
Rog and deacon would doodle.
Speaking of differing signatures. My friend and i went to see Jean luc Ponty and we both got autographs. His on an LP mine on CD.
Both looked very different. ..but it's likely due to spacing.
This also happened with cult film director Larry Cohen and another patron at the theater we went to seeing Q the winged serpent. Both were on the same poster. Both looked quite different.
