Description

Arnold Schwarzenegger Signed English and German Handwritten Paragraphs (1970). Vintage original handwritten paragraphs on 8" x 10" blank paper, dated September 14, 1970, from London, and addressed to "Fraser," these paragraphs were written by the then 23-year-old Schwarzenegger in both English and German for a handwriting analyzation. In English, the paragraph reads, "It was very nice to met [sic.] you here at the Mr. Universe Contest in London and I am very happy that you analise [sic.] my handwriting. Pleas [sic.] let me know the results," signed "your friend, Arnold" in black ink. The statement is paraphrased in German under the first paragraph. In his final appearance at the competition, Schwarzenegger won his third straight NABBA Pro Mr. Universe title and became the youngest man to win Mr. Olympia in New York City later that month, a record he holds to this day. After his success in bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger began his transition into Hollywood and became the cultural icon we know today. Exhibits signs of wear and handling, including tape residue on edges of verso, creasing, toning, and liquid stain near bottom edge. Full LOA from Beckett Authentication Services.
