Franz Hug MULTI Olympic Games Swiss King Flag Thrower Hand Signed Photo Postcard

ZX459 A stunning undated but vintage origin hand signed real photo postcard of Olympic Champion Franz Hug - There are two other signatures on this postcard too surely related that I cant identify - It has small places to allow but very good and mostly great condition (vg+) - It is also signed on the front of the card by Franz Hug so a double signed item.

An expert flag-thrower handles a flag much as a drum major handles a baton, swinging it around his body, under his legs, tossing it thirty-forty feet into the air, never letting it touch the ground. At the Olympic Games he threw the Swiss flag and the Olympic banner both 40 feet inthe air. He has thrown flags for King Alfonso, and the Kind of Siam, in Switzerland. Nobody know why the Swiss throw flags, a national habit. Mr. Hug also blows the alpenhorn.
