Description

‘Gentleman Jim’ signs shortly after losing his title

Here offered is the vintage fountain pen signature of beloved pugilist Jim Corbett, who scripted his autograph just one year after losing the heavyweight title. On this 6 x 3, off-white slip, the boxing legend signed, “Yours truly, Jas. J. Corbett, Feb’y 10, 1898.” The slip itself exhibits fine condition with a mild overall shade of toning, a rough bottom edge, and a small pencil notation along the lower portion.  RRAuction COA.
