Offered is a copy ofDeath From Afarfeaturing a large, exceptionally attractive autograph from legendary U.S. Marine Corps sniperCarlos N. Hathcock II.
Hathcock boldly inscribed the title page:
“Semper Fi”
Carlos Hathcock
The autograph has been authenticated byBeckett Authentication Services (BAS), with the Beckett authentication sticker affixed directly to the signed page.
Beckett Certification #: AE69494
What makes this example particularly interesting is theCarlos Hathcock “LONG RANGE” sniper-logo stickeraffixed directly beneath the inscription.
The sticker features Hathcock’s distinctivecrosshair and feather emblem, withCARLOS / LONG RANGE / HATHCOCKsurrounding the design and Hathcock’s name along the bottom. It creates an outstanding display alongside his large handwritten “Semper Fi” inscription.
This isfar more visually distinctive than the typical Hathcock-signed book containing only a signature on a blank page or endpaper. The combination of the book, large Marine Corps inscription, Beckett authentication, and the unusual HathcockLONG RANGElogo sticker makes this a particularly memorable Carlos Hathcock collectible.
Carlos Hathcock remains one of the most famous Marine snipers in American military history. During the Vietnam War he was officially credited with93 confirmed killsand became legendary for his fieldcraft, patience, marksmanship, and extraordinary missions behind enemy lines. His influence on Marine Corps sniper doctrine and training remains substantial decades after his death.
