Fake or real autograph of Christopher Tolkien

I just acquired a first edition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight from 1975. There is a gift dedication from a Christopher. Could anyone say if this is from Christopher T or not? I understand that it is a long shot but the little doodles around the signature made me curious.

I'm sorry, but that is not Christopher Tolkien's signature.

Agreed, not his handwriting. And I would add that the key to any of these signatures is provenance. Without it they have to be doubted.
