Great photo of Count Graf von Luckner , ink signed, clear bold autograph, war time hero of Germany..
Felix Graf von Luckner (9 June 1881 – 13 April 1966), sometimes called in English Count Luckner, was a German nobleman, naval officer, author, and sailor who earned the epithet Der Seeteufel (the Sea Devil), and his crew that of Die Piraten des Kaisers (the Emperor’s Pirates), for his exploits in command of the sailing commerce raider SMS Seeadler (Sea Eagle) between 1916 and 1917.

It was Luckner’s habit of successfully waging war without casualties which made him a hero and a legend on both sides.
