Anthony S.Personally, my signature looks like someone shot me halfway through it. 17 letters combined for a first and last name gets a little old after a while. However, when composing the main text of a letter my penmanship is much clearer. I could definitely see someone writing there name differently in the main text of a letter as opposed to their signature. But then again 19th century penmanship as a whole tends to be much more elegant. There weren't as many shortcuts (typing, long distance phone calls, etc).
