CHARACTERISTICS
NATURAL VARIATIONS– No two signatures of
the same person will be the same. There will
be some minute variations that occur naturally
and are called natural variations. It is to prove
the genuineness and authenticity of a
signature. The forged signature will be exactly
as the forger can never bring out the variations
due to the absence of a clause which helps in
its detection as the genuine signatures will
never be exact.

DIACRITIC PLACEMENT– Sometimes,
the forger forgets to add up the
strokes or dots as a diacritic in the
signature, put them up in the wrong
place or makes the difference in the
length or style. Still, everything is
accurate when observed in a genuine
signature.
