Special Pfalz D.XII s/n 2486/18 Fuselage Laminate Original Paint Relic Display

Special one-of-a-kind German World War I Pfalz D.XII s/n 2486/18 original fuselage laminated plywood section including rudder control wires 'lead out' and ultra-rare original paint combined in this 20x16-inch wall-hanging display with Ron Cole's original artwork of this aircraft - signed & numbered 1 of 1. This is a very special part! By the time George B. Jarrett acquired this Pfalz it was already in poor condition, and he quickly did some 'restoration' work and repainted the aircraft for display. Almost all surviving material from this aircraft post-date that repaint (which was a hideous dark green). This piece of fuselage skin (a late-war cross-hatch laminate design invented by Roland and used in the Pfalz D.XII) is the only known piece of fuselage that retains its original gray wartime paint. The descriptions on the piece are in Jarrett's period handwriting. The round red tag was added in the 1960s when the piece was sent by Jarrett to his friend Richard Boehme. All included
