While the content is routine, the signature is highly desirable. And it is entirely in Armstrong's hand.

This gentleman contacted me previously for an email opinion a while ago and I provided him with my opinion as to authenticity and value. My sense is he wanted it encapsulated. While I'd be honored to write a letter for this, I do not place stickers on items or encapsulate.

I was going to say that it looks like a full name and I don't recall having seen one before. That's tremendous.

Here's a full full-name signature, Tom:

I used to have 2 or 3 fullname ones on documents that Richard sold me years and years ago. I believe they dealt with medical examinations if memory serves me correctly. That's a cool letter you have there.


Edited: just saw Davids piece above. That might have been one of them or very very similar. That looks very familiar and mine were likely the same type of documents. David, did you pick that up in the late 90's or early 2000's? Did you buy it from me if you remember?

I sold a couple of VA docs but not sure if they were medical ones or insurance ones. I also had Ted Williams, Joe D., Bobby Thomson and a few others.
They were all signed with full names or middle initial, Theodore Samuel, Joseph P. or Paul I forget, etc.
I still have Thomson in my collection.

How did you come by those Veteran's Administration documents, Richard?

[RichardSimon]

One of my good friends on 54 told me that David has posted this question for me on this thread. Since I have him on block I did not see it.
I bought those docs at the Manhattan Antiques Center from a dealer in that mall or did I break into the VA in the middle of the night and steal them?? .

Someone did. I'm sure you realized that when you purchased them for resale.
