I'm looking at that McKechnie again...
Perhaps first signed by him, then gone over with a broken pencil? I'm seeing some areas where the "dual flow", for lack of a better term, does run parallel as would be expected from a broken pencil. There are other areas I'm seeing where this is not the case, most notably under the hump in the transition from the B to the M. Underneath it, you'll see a paler pencil hump, as if that's the formation of the original autograph, and whoever enhanced it decided to go a little higher.
All in all, these are really wasted words in light of Jim's succinct advice to just stay away no matter what and grab something nicer. Even without the issues, a similar cut (in ink, mind you) shouldn't run you more than $300--even less if you don't require TPA approval and can buy using your own knowledge.
Lamar: I'd just advise your friend to scrap these two and cut his losses.
