AUTHENTIC PRESIDENT NELSON MANDELA SIGNED FDC 1995 AUTOGRAPH SIGNATURE MADIBA SIGNATURE REAL

AUTHENTIC NELSON MANDELA HAND SIGNED 6.3B FDC.

Superb clear flowing signature signed 14 September 1995.  Signed as president.

On this day President Mandela Granted Freedom of Uitenhage, FDC was most likely signed in Uitenhage.

Since 2008 I have sent 13 Mandela signatures to Cecil Greenfield All came back authentic.

I sent them to Greenfield as this is what collectors wanted, not because I needed it for myself.

If you would like to send it to Greenfield you are welcome to do so, however one would

assume that a very experienced collector would purchase, who, does all their homework themselves,

Like I have done since 2005.

PROVENANCE: This FDC was originally purchased from bid or buy member: eastamps 18 July 2010.

The forgeries have unfortunately plagued the market since around 2009, Most

collectors are unknowingly sitting with forgeries and false certificates, but such is

the autograph hobby, its the nature of the hobby, advanced autograph collectors will agree.

ADDED INFO: Some collectors

are also confused with the difference between the words 'autopen' and 'printstamp',

often misused the Mandela FDC's with the R5 coin and the signture in the bottom

right is not an autopen but indeed a stamp / print. To my knowledge the S.A

Government never owned an autopen machine, all mass correspondence

items i have seen have been prints, print stamp or just photocopies.

I own and have sold some Major S.A presidents autographs over the years,

Everyone from Kruger to Mandela.
