Sorry, can’t seem to attach a file right now.

And I can’t believe I’m 46 now. Hartmann was nice enough to send an inscribed picture to a 16 year old kid. The ballpoint pen has held up well.

Very cool. Nice of him to send it. Many RKT's got quite accustomed to signature requests. It's really great that so many would answer.

Hey Dick, been wondering about you. I believe you gave me Hartmann’s address. My twins just turned 8 and its been quite a ride. Hope you are well.

This portrait photo of Bubi Hartmann is quite common, of course, and it is a post-war print, but having something like this personalized to you and autographed by the most successful fighter pilot that the world has ever seen or will ever see is unlike any other artifact! Congrats to you...treat it like it was made of gold, because it is!!

I second that Br. James. What a nice item. It certainly must mean more to you thanks to the personalization than it would to any other collector who is just after the signature. Thank you for sharing this.
