Ralph Mcquarrie original concept art

[scohrdarkshadow]

Heh sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but I was looking to possibly purchase an original concept piece from the prop store. However there doesn’t seem to be any provenance, and no Mcquarrie signature. Is there much risk for these being not his?

It's a rough concept sketch just to get ideas down on paper - why would he have signed something like this? It's production art, not a finished piece.

Also...

1.) Prop Store's reputation is golden.

2.) Images of this very sketch appear on page 120 in Volume II of Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie.

McQuarrie auctioned off a bunch of these in 2002. I bought one sketch of the Falcon flying into the Death Star, which I have since sold. The one I received came with a picture of Ralph McQuarrie signing the exact drawing I bought. I don't see that with this one, but their reputation is really good.
