Description
This listing offers an authentic original funeral order of service for Charlie Kray (1927–2000) — the eldest of the infamous Kray brothers and a respected figure within London’s underworld. This particular example is made even more remarkable as it has been personally hand-signed by Reginald “Reg” Kray, making it one of the most significant and desirable Kray-related collectibles ever to surface.
Charlie Kray was often regarded as the “gentleman” of the trio — a guiding influence on his younger twin brothers, Reggie and Ronnie Kray, who went on to dominate the London underworld during the 1960s. His funeral was a major event, attended by family, friends, and associates from across decades of East End history.
Signed examples of this order of service are exceptionally rare, as Reg Kray’s signature adds immense historical and collector value.
