Description
A rare and highly collectible newspaper front page flyer personally signed by Reg Kray, one of Britain’s most infamous underworld figures. This copy of the front page from the Hucknall and Bulwell Dispatch, dated Friday, June 12th, 1992, features a major article titled “My Pen-Pal with a Heart of Gold… Reggie Kray”. The story recounts how Kray, while serving time in prison, assisted a young pen pal in raising funds for a seriously ill child — a portrait of the softer side of a man often defined by his criminal past. Reg Kray has signed the paper boldly in full signature, alongside handwritten notes and inscriptions along the border. The signature is executed in blue ink and stands out clearly against the monochrome newsprint background. This piece captures a fascinating point in Kray’s later life — blending his enduring infamy with a remarkable act of compassion that challenged public perception.
