In several movies I've noticed they have a scene where a famous person from history signs their name on camera so you can see the signature.
It's usually a tight shot so you can't tell it's not the actor playing the person doing the signing or not.
The odd part is there's people who've studied these signatures enough to do them correctly for a camera.
I'd start worrying if my "historical signature" guy started getting informed about things like, oh, aging ink and paper. Mark Hofmann nearly brought down the LDS Church because he could make very authentic-looking old handwritten documents.
