100% authentic signature of Posthumous non-combat Medal of Honor recipient Lt. CARLTON BARMORE HUTCHINS, USN (1904-1938 KIFA). Hutchins served as a seaplane pilot aboard the USS Langley (AV-3). He was awarded the MOH for valor and leadership after a mid-air collision with another seaplane controlling his plane to allow to crew to parachute to safety. He was killed in the endeavor. This is a rare item. Signed 1926 USNA Lucky Bag yearbook small photo only in nice shape with normal signs of age. SIZE = 4" x 1.5". This is a nice example for collectors on a budget.

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 don't use the Best Offer option. I don't send offers to perennial watchers either. I will simply 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 for time wasters. No low ballers, no hagglers, no know-it-alls (I have Google too). NO supposed relatives, self-appointed historians/authors, 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. Fully retired, I have no overhead or a driving need to sell. But I have been collecting military signatures for well over 55 years. Due to health issues, I'm offering these items solely as a means to downsize my accumulations and share with fellow collectors while still able to do so. I have a lot of time and money invested in my collections. 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 the way it goes.
