This Neil Armstrong signed WSS portrait listing sold, was relisted and sold again on eBay. To my untrained eye it looks a bit atypical, especially the loop and maybe slow? I may be wrong though.

Any thoughts on the signature? (I did not buy the listing, just curious.)

I think someone practiced Armstrong forgeries, bought a litho with an autopen, and forged Armstrong's signature.

You may be right. I think I saw somewhere a similar litho with an autopen signature as well as a genuine signature so I did not consider it as a red flag.
