Outstanding Abraham Lincoln Signed 1863 Naval Commission Document

A Historic Presidential Appointment Document Signed by Abraham Lincoln

An Artifact of American History

In the annals of American history, few figures stand as tall as President Abraham Lincoln. His leadership during the Civil War and his commitment to preserving the Union have cemented his legacy as one of the nation’s most revered leaders. Among the many documents that bear his signature, the appointment of “Master Weld N. Allen to be a lieutenant in the Navy, from the 24 February, 1861” stands out as a testament to his role in shaping the nation’s military leadership.

Exquisite Condition and Presentation

This remarkable document, measuring approximately 14.5×17 inches, is a pristine example of Lincoln’s official correspondence. Signed with his full name, “Abraham Lincoln,” in high-grade black ink, the signature has remarkably retained its EX-MT condition over the years. The ink remains bold and vibrant, a testament to the care with which this document has been preserved. On the opposite side, the signature of Lincoln’s Secretary of the Navy, Gideon Welles, is also present, albeit slightly more faded, yet still presenting well.
