PLEASE NOTE: Kana will be BACK IN THE OFFICE as of TUESDAY 07/01,
BUT I will not be back in the Office until MONDAY July 7th,
So we will be keeping the Yellow Notification up through JULY 4th Weekend!!
As I still have MOST of our Military Artifacts and SOME of our LE Badges with me on the Road, so there could be delays in shipping!!

We Hope to FINALLY Have this Issue CORRECTED in July or August!!
If you would like to PAY for an Artifact with a CREDIT CARD, please email and I will get an invoice emailed to you ASAP!
We are HAPPY TO ACCEPT YOUR ORDERS during this time, and we will promptly SHIP MOST orders within ONE Business Day of Receipt of Payment!

ARTIFACT:
These are two letters of commendation for meritorious service issued to Patrolman John J. Donovan Division 15, accompanied by two cover letters. All four pieces are signed by the then-Commissioner of the city of Boston Police Department, Leo J. Sullivan.

The original envelope is included in the lot and all the signatures are real, not mechanically reproduced.

ITEM NOTES:
These letters are from a large assortment of police badges and memorabilia that I will be listing over the next few months.
CONDITION:
9 (Excellent-Near Mint): The letters and commendations show little signs of wear or aging though the envelope is well worn around the edges and would be considered around a 5. LEEX SEEX5/11
GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
