An Autographed REPRODUCTION Photo (measures 5" x 7" [13 x 18 cm]; entire item measures 7 1/2" x 11") (Learn More) Max Schmeling was a German boxer who was heavyweight champion of the world between 1930 and 1932. His two fights with Joe Louis in 1936 and 1938 were worldwide cultural events because of their national associations. During World War II (WWII), Schmeling served with the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) as an elite paratrooper. After the war, Schmeling mounted a comeback, but retired permanently in 1948. Schmeling passed away in 2005 at the age of 99 Important Added Info: Note that this REPRODUCTION photo (which shows Schmeling when he was a German parachutist in the Invasion of Crete) has been personally autographed (signed) by Max Schmeling! Note that this comes from a wonderful collection that was assembled by a collector decades ago, mostly from RR Auctions, which has auctioned signed items since 1976. The person who purchased these items passed away several years ago, and while he did not save most of the certificates of authenticity he received when he bought these signed items, almost all were purchased between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, and we think it is extremely likely that the autograph on this item is genuine. In our last two auctions, we auctioned around 100 items from this same consignor, and we thought that was the very last of this wonderful collection, but our consignor discovered a few more items that had been missed, so we are auctioning those last ones in this set of auctions. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: very good. Someone attached the REPRODUCTION to a 7 1/2" x 11" black sheet of paper with a single piece of tape on the back of the center, and they added a small piece of paper below it describing the photo.
