The connotation for undertaking the research falls on an attempt to perceive the range of natural variations in handwriting as a reliable and substantial solution for authenticating any document as genuine. Three handwriting samples - two in present handwriting (with a gap of 5–10 minutes) and one old or past handwriting (gap ranged from 2–33 years from present handwritings) samples were collected from 540 (from both genders) individuals each, from 9 different age groups. The samples were analyzed and measurements were taken through transparencies made from Auto CAD software. A range of natural variations for size and proportion of letters (‘of’, ‘it’, ‘ly’, ‘ed’ and ‘he’) has been deduced in terms of numeral values separately for both the genders as well as for different age groups. The proposed findings are expected to relieve experts from the requirement and dependability on contemporary writings.
