Abraham Lincoln military appointment signed, the most stunning example we've encountered, not only signed with Lincoln's full name, ''Abraham Lincoln'', but on pristine, bright vellum. Dated 2 July 1862, McGuire was actually KIA at Malvern Hill two days prior, with his appointment backdated to 12 March 1862. With full signature by Lincoln as well as by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. Vellum document measures 15.75'' x 19.5''. Folds as issued, overall near fine condition with exceptionally bright and fine vellum.
