Rare WWII US Army MP Document & Photo Grouping – 100% Original 1946 Baltimore Provenance Up for auction is an exceptionally rare, pristine, and historically cohesive World War II U.S. Army Military Police document and photograph grouping belonging to Master Sergeant Samuel S. Katz. This museum-quality set consists of two original matching frames, containing the exact milestone documents alongside original black-and-white presentation photographs capturing the precise moments the awards were handed over. ### What is Included: * **Frame 1 (Commendation):** Features an official Certificate of Commendation from the Headquarters Third Service Command (Baltimore, MD) dated December 29, 1945. It is hand-signed by Major General Philip Hayes (notable WWII General). The citation awards M/Sgt. Katz for especially meritorious service as Assistant to the Commanding General. Above the certificate is the original photograph showing Gen. Hayes handing this exact document to M/Sgt. Katz. * **Frame 2 (Honorable Discharge):** Features a striking, silver-on-black Honorable Discharge Historical Provenance & Condition: * **100% Period Original:** Both frames retain their original, untouched 1940s brown paper backing featuring the vintage label: "Alton’s Popular Price Picture Store, 110 W. Lexington St., Baltimore, MD." Business records show Alton's operated at this location from 1941 to 1949, perfectly mirroring M/Sgt. Katz’s 1946 discharge date and proving local, era-correct framing. * **Condition:** Excellent vintage condition. The paper documents are crisp with bold text and clear signatures. The original black-and-white photos have retained sharp contrast. The frames and glass are solid with minor age-appropriate wear. No visible water damage or heavy sun-fading. ### Shipping & Handling: This historical set will be packed with extreme care using heavy-duty bubble wrap and a sturdy box to ensure the vintage glass and frames arrive safely. Ships fully insured with tracking. *Please review all high-resolution photos carefully to assess condition.
