In very good to fine condition, with an edge stain and vertical line of toning to Decatur. Accompanied by an engraved portrait of Decatur bearing a facsimile signature. Decatur was a commodore who served in both Barbary Wars in North Africa, the Quasi-War with France, and the War of 1812 with Britain; he was killed in a duel with his rival officer, James Barron, that resulted from comments Decatur had made over Barron's conduct in the Chesapeake - Leopard Affair of 1807.Format: Signatures
