Beautiful, World War II vintage, General Dwight D. Eisenhower signature on a Banque De France Cent Francs note. Eisenhower has signed in 8/10 black ink on the left white border margin. Signature was obtained during a conference of Allied Generals in April 1945 at the Hotel Du Louvre, in Cherbourg, France. The French hotel had been conscripted by the United States Army for the use of General Officers and Congressional personnel. The original owner received the autograph from Eisenhower during a luncheon break. Typed neatly below the autograph is "DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER General of the armies Supreme Commander, AEF April 1945 Cherbourg, France". Franc itself in very nice shape with pair of folds, one vertically at the center and the other horizontally across the center. Beautifully framed and matted to a size of 8 1/2" by 10 1/2". Great looking historical piece!
Typed LOA from the soldier who originally obtained the signature in April, 1945.
Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
