Funny, a few of you have echoed my different thoughts in your posts!

--I am not familiar with this issue to know if it's a preprint.

--If the ink is live, it's a great signature and appears period to the issue date, so a nice, vintage example if so.

--I too couldn't ascertain from the scan if there was some possible signature enhancement or other issue, as it could seem like that (or, just possibly a poor scan or the fact that it truly is a preprint and the printer did a shoddy job of that).

Because Leon can't tell himself if the ink is live with the item in hand, just err on the side of caution and consider it a preprint until more info can be gathered.

Of note is that the printing underneath the autograph appears to exhibit the same unevenness as the signature, which really leads me to lean towards it being printed.
