Description

Collector-Grade autographed and signed memorabilia: an original 15x18 U.S. military appointment dated August 1, 1856, hand-signed by President Franklin Pierce and Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, authenticated by Beckett (BAS LOA). Pierce served as the 14th U.S. President from 1853–1857 during a volatile pre–Civil War period. Davis was his Secretary of War (1853–1857) before later leading the Confederate States during the Civil War. Dual-executive documents from their shared administration remain desirable pieces of American political history.

  • Authentication: Beckett Authentication Services (BAS) Letter of Authenticity with COA/hologram; verification available on Beckett’s website
