Aelfwine, any chance you could provide us with a couple examples of those CT signatures for comparison?

If that is an actual CT signature, it is a REALLY bad example if you ask me.

Here are a few from letters I found online:

The C and L just don't seem right to me...

What do you guys think?

Here's another example (not a letter): http://www.tolkienbooks.net/php/cjrt-bibliography.php
