Description
Here is your chance to pick up an incredible grouping to WW1 fighter pilot Josef Jacobs who ended his career with a staggering 48 confirmed kills. This fantastic opportunity is complete with his original July 1918 (Kanitz) signed Pour le Mérite document which is accompanied by an authentic gilt Wagner Pour le Mérite. Additional items include his personal photo albums, period postcards, numerous photos of him in Luftwaffe service uniform as well as photos of his involvement with postwar Veteran reunions for PLM holders. Jacobs was known to have several examples of the PLM to wear for different occasions. As discussed in Neal O’Connor’s Aviation Awards of Imperial Germany in World War I and the men who earned them, at least two others are known to the collecting community and are published. The cross in this grouping is not one of the two published examples but did arrive to me with his original award document. Also included are his air victory confirmation papers.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Jacobs states that he is tied for the 4th highest German Ace of the First World War.
