In this document, the King authorizes a general court martial to try and sentence a Private Grenadier in the Troop of House Grenadier Guards for disobedience of orders and insolent behavior behavior toward a lieutenant.
George III has signed this document with a large 2˝” signature. The paper and wax seal is intact. The document has three horizontal folds, fortified in places with tape; a small hole in the upper fold, barely touching one letter of text on the verso; considerable edge chipping with some loss of text; and a pencil notation of the date at the top of the front page. Overall the document is in fair to good condition, and the signature is very fine.
Unframed.
The document was too large for us to scan.
The edges are not cut off on the original.
