Melvin Purvis Cut. He Captured John Dillinger! Boldly Signed & PSA Encapsulated!
Cut, 2.25" x 1.5", boldly signed by the FBI agent who captured or killed bank robbers Baby Face Nelson, John Dillinger, and Pretty Boy Floyd as "Col Melvin Purvis." Graded a NM-MT 8, authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA to a size of 3.125" x 5.25."
Given the nickname "Little Mel" because of his short, 5 ft 4 in (163 cm) frame, Purvis became noted for leading the manhunts that captured or killed bank robbers such as Baby Face Nelson, John Dillinger, and Pretty Boy Floyd, but his high public profile was resented by local law enforcement.
