Vintage matte-finish 9.25 x 7.25 US Navy photo of Nimitz signing the Japanese surrender, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Edward N. Scheiberling, with best wishes and great appreciation, C. W. Nimitz, Fleet Admiral UNS,” adding “USS Missouri—Tokyo Bay, 2 Sept 1945—Surrender Day” at the top. Nimitz has also signed the image next to him signing the surrender, placing the signature as if it is coming out of the pen. In fine condition, with lightly trimmed edges, a few edge dings, and a bit of skipping to a couple letters in notation at top. Scheiberling served as national commander of the American Legion. A seldom-seen vantage point of the historic event, enhanced by a second signature.
