Signed
Signature
The function of a signature or autograph
gives evidence of its creator, an association with the item (as a piece
of living history) or the fact that the signer appears or is somehow part
of an image or event depicted in the document.

Types of signatures
Signatures may be witnessed and recorded in the presence of a Notary Public
or other persons who testify to the signer's identity.
A document signed by a famous person is sometimes known as an autograph,
and is then typically written on its own or with a brief note to the recipient.
Rather than providing authentication for a document, the autograph is
given as a souvenir which acknowledges the recipient's access to the autographer.

Legal Definition
In the US the legal definition of a signature defines a signature to mean
"any memorandum, mark, or sign made with intent to authenticate any
instrument or writing, or the subscription of any person thereto."

We at RR Auction are proud to handle many collections
of signed documents and offering them to collectors of
signed items.
