Ben Barnes??

[Nicole@live]

Hey everyone,

I was visting the topic 'List of Celebrities Believed To Send Secretarial Autographs' and I was really suprised to see Ben Barnes name. My Autograph looks prettty Authentic and all the other succeses I have seen as well. Can someone please look at my autograph?

[RYAN J.]

Pretty sure yours is AUTHENTIC. I think his secretary might add the names though, maybe that's why he's on the list. I'm sending my request soon.

Personaliztion secretarial. Signature is the real deal.

Ben used to, just after the release of "Prince Caspian", send out secretarial inscribed but authentically signed photos. Then, a while later, in 2009 I believe, he switched back to personalizing the photos himself and ever since, I haven't seen secretarial inscriptions since. However, the new "Dear {name}" inscriptions does look a bit off, but it is clearly done in the same pen as the autograph part... I compared some letters to the new recent inscriptions, and what I've noticed it that the letters are written very closely to one another, whereas Ben writes more stretched out. I must say some letters, though not all, do look close to Ben's writing...

I got him before he was very famous (only known back then for his role in "Stardust"), in March 2008 and he handwrote my address on the return envelope - I compared some of his letters on the envelope to the recent personalizations - some letters match, others not so much... You can see some of the envelope on my site, but if you'd like to see the whole thing to compare to, just let me know and I'll pm it to you!

Compare for example the R particularly in this new success:

to this older one, which is authentic:

Quite different, but then the capital S in a recent success matches to his S on my envelope again...

Here's what I meant with his more stretched out letters, same name as you:

I think it could be authentic, as the way he wrote "Nicole" is the link I posted, matches to yours (I'm talking about how he wrote the letters). Look at the "le" part at the end, it's similar.

Bud simpson, Lizard and Ryan thank you all As long as the autograph is real then I'am happy. I would have feel cheated if it wasn't.
Lizard thanks for the pictures as well for comparing. Too me it looks like they both are real. But like I said as long as his autograph is authentic.
