Dropped price to $185. Will not drop it another cent.
Offering this 100% genuine signature of WWII Ace Capt. Magnus Wilson Francis, USAF (1918-1948 KIFA). Francis served with the 44th FS/18th FG in during WWII. He was credited with 5.5 victories, and his combat awards include the DFC and the Silver Star. He died in the crash of a C-47 in December 1948 and didn't get to sign much. This is a very rare signature. Very fairly priced. Not entertaining on offers on this piece.
Signed FDC.Good shape w/ normal signs of age.Please read the entire listing carefully. If you have questions for something not already in the listing ask them before buying. Won't respond to questions where I already took the time to put the answer in the listing. Likewise I don't respond to questions that revolve around lowball offers. My prices are more than fair.Look at the photos as they are part of the description. Combined shipping is a given.
I won't use the Best Offer option. Too many time wasters submitting low ball offers. I won't send offers to perennial watchers either. I will give the absolute best price I can from the door. It's the bottom line, no wiggle room price. If an item doesn't sell within two 30-day listing cycles it will be replaced.
Accepting want lists for military signatures. Serious buyers only. I'm recovering from a stroke and have zero patience or wherewithal for dealing with time wasters. No low ballers, hagglers, know-it-alls, or self-proclaimed historians/authors/curators. Absolutely NO supposed relatives, bargain hunters, or others who think lame bargaining ploys will net them gold for the price of tin.
I am not a dealer. I am a private collector. I have no overhead or a driving need to sell. But I have been collecting military signatures for about 60 years now. Due to health issues, I'm offering these items solely as a means to downsize my accumulations and share with fellow collectors while my health permits. I don't ask for full retail or top dollar, but I won't sell for a price that is unfair to either of us. If you want my help with your collecting I'm here. If not that's cool too.
