Does anyone have a scan of Koltanowski’s signature? I have a copy of his book Adventures of a Chess Master that appears to have his signature in it, and would like to verify.
I do. PM me your email address and I will send it.
I have the book: George Koltanowski’s CHESSNICDOTES. It has 2 Kolty signatures in it, and they are slightly different. The first signature has the second e in ‘George’ closed [i.e. no white space in the top of the e], while the second signature has the e in ‘George’ open. In both the first e is closed. Also, for both after the ‘Koltan’ in Koltanowski there is very little after it & certanly does not look like the letters ‘owski’ but rather more like someone having drawn a bell curve.
I do wonder if the signature(s) are mechanical copies of originals that were printed with the book itself. This is always a possibility, but not always the case with any book.
