Hi,

I am RELISTING due to Buyer Issues (Please only bid with 10 or more Feedback credited to your Ebay Account)

a beautiful, piece of history. A military appointment artifact signed by President Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of War Simon Cameron.

The date of this was signed on September, 9th 1861.

The President's signature is the long form, noted to be used in his early term. In the later term, he switched to "A. Lincoln".

This is beautifully matted and framed and will make an excellent addition to any historical collection.

Read from Top to Bottom:
