Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 13.75 x 16.75, July 8, 1859. President Buchanan appoints Weld Noble Allen “a Passed Midshipman in the Navy of the United States.” Signed at the conclusion by Buchanan and countersigned by Secretary of the Navy Isaac Toucey. Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, small repaired hole to right edge, a bit of mild toning, and some light edge curling, otherwise fine condition. The orange seal is worn, but intact. Allen (1837-1875) graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1855 and commanded a navy gunboat in the Civil War as part of the Western Gulf Blockading Squadron.
