The work presents a practical, systematic manual for identifying and analyzing forged or disputed handwriting. It explains comparative examination of genuine and questioned signatures, tracing and free-hand methods, stroke order and pen movement, magnification and photographic reproduction, chemical and alcohol tests for erasures and ink differences, and techniques to detect alterations, additions, and artificial aging. It also discusses courtroom standards and evidentiary procedures and offers procedural advice for bankers, clerks, and examiners on preparing and presenting specimens.
