And also on my attic this framed Afghan Tribesman photograph signed in pencil by David Douglas Duncan . Signing is real pencil pressed into the paper . Sizes off the print are also perfectly as original print . But what would be a proper asking price to sell it ? There's one to be found in the LACMA in Los Angeles but unsigned .

But this signed print as in the LACMA is not to be found sold anywhere  :-[ So difficult to value

If you look at the signatures - they don't look the same.

People's signatures can change over time - but there are big differences in slants, spacing, etc.  The one sold on Ebay could be someone elses' that signed for him or visa versa.

I found this page to help you in the future when you compare signatures that is very helpful

I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

Maybe it's time to open the frame  to see if there's any link on the backside from the print about given to maybe ? Make some time this week to do that
