Having worked with professional forensic document examiners on authenticity questions before, I would say they can be pretty cagey - much more dealing in probabilities than certainties. Honestly, most of what you'd want to know about the 1974 EPT draft here you'd see in an instant comparing it to the full Aug 1974 doc, which has circulated widely in PDF form I gather.But after getting off on the wrong foot, hard for me to see how he'd secure a deal for this item that he'd be happy with.

That Facebook group seems to be geared toward play copies rather than collectibles.
