I'm offering my 100% authentic and very scarce signature of World War II Medal of Honor recipient First Sgt. Leonard A. Funk, USA (1916-1992). Funk was awarded the MOH for heroism during actions near Holzheim, Belgium on 29 JAN 45. In addition to the MOH Funk was also awarded the DSC, Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart. Funk is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. CANADIAN BIDDERS: Feel free to bid! Anything won can be paid for and held until your postal workers are back on the job. This is a signed 1979-dated FDC out of my personal collection. It is in excellent condition. Personally and nicely inscribed by Funk in black pen. Envelope shows toning and age. Please ask questions before bidding and look at the photos. I'm offering this piece "as is", and solely for the scarcity of the signature, not the condition of the cover. In keeping with a true auction scenario there will be no returns. Will begin auction at a fair price without a reserve and let the bidding set the value. PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY : Payment is required within 3 days of auction close. NO EXCEPTIONS!!! I'm offering most of these pieces out of necessity and cannot wait weeks on end before being paid. Shipping will be just $3 within the USA. I will combine shipping on items won within 7 days of your earliest won item. If you want to protect your investment I recommend that you kick in the additional $1.70 that the post office charges for this purpose. I will in no way accept responsibility for uninsured items damaged or mysteriously "lost" by the post office. International shipping will be higher and in the $4-6 range give or take. Goes by destination and weight. I'm not a dealer but merely an avid collector selling of parts of his personal collection and accumulations. I've been collecting militaria for about 45 years. I'll be listing many pieces in the coming weeks once I decide what I can part with and what I cannot. So check in from time to time. For the serious collector I have many pieces available that I will NOT be listing on ebay due to listing fees and lackluster bidding. I have an extremely rare signature of WW2 MOH recipient Lt. Thomas Fowler (KIA). He was posthumously awarded the MOH for actions that occurred 11 days prior to his being KIA during the Italian Campaign. I also have an extremely rare example of the signature of Lt. Jack Lummus. He was an NFL football player who put his career on hold in order to serve during WWII. A Marine officer on Iwo Jima, he was KIA and was posthumously awarded the MOH for the heroic actions which led to his death. Contact me for details and pricing. We can handle the transaction via ebay. Many others available as well. Serious collectors only. NOTE: I prefer to interact with Ebayers who exchange feedback . Once you have received your item and are happy with it close out our transaction by posting feedback. Once you have closed out our transaction in this way I will follow suit. This is an equitable and efficient quid pro system that leaves no one out in the cold. Reputations are important. I spent over 40 years cultivating a network from which I obtain all sorts of interesting militaria. And unlike others I don't go after top dollar for my stuff. The least you can do is take a moment to post feedback. I will do the same for you. Thanks for your interest!!! SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!!! read more
