War-dated partly-printed DS as president, one page, 13.5 x 18, August 1, 1864. President Lincoln appoints Senis Hallman to be “a Second Lieutenant in the Veteran’s Reserve Corps.” Signed at the conclusion, “Abraham Lincoln,” and countersigned by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. Cloth matted and framed to an overall size of 22.5 x 27.5. Intersecting folds, with horizontal fold through tops of a couple letters of signature, scattered toning, creasing, and soiling, fading to handwritten portions of document, but still mostly legible, and mirroring of seal to lower left, otherwise very good condition. The green seal is worn, but intact, and Lincoln’s signature remains quite bold and prominent. Oversized. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
