Woodrow Wilson signed World War I Navy Civil Engineer Commission

Description

Woodrow Wilson – beautiful, fresh looking World War I commission of Paul L. Reed as a Civil Engineer in the Navy with the rank of Commander.
It is dated Sept. 9. 1917.
Wilson’s signature is strong and dark, as his that of Josephus Daniels as Secretary of the Navy.
The document stands out as fresh and clean with some signs of flattened lines from having once been rolled, but not folded.
The blue seal is intact and the engravings are crisp and bright.
The large format commission has been matted and framed with a nice gold and black frame.
The frame shows some age but is still strong and ready to be hung as a striking display piece. Replacement framing of the same quality would probably run 0-0.
Overall, an exceptionally nice example of a World War I Wilson commission.
