Title:
Aaron Burr Signed Cut – Rare Handwritten Legal Fragment with Full Inscription – PSA/DNA Certified Authentic Auto

Description:
Offered here is a remarkable handwritten cut signed by Aaron Burr (1756–1836), featuring not only his bold signature but also additional writing in his own hand. The fragment, clipped from a longer manuscript legal document, reads in part:

“… If yea declare the same fully and been particularly interrogated …
A. Burr / of [counsel] for compt.”

The passage shows Burr’s legal style, written in his recognizable cursive hand, with his signature “A. Burr” appearing prominently below the text. The ink remains bold, with attractive toning from age that underscores the authenticity of this over 200-year-old artifact.

Historical Context:
Aaron Burr was one of the most complex figures of the American founding era. A Revolutionary War officer, skilled attorney, and rising politician, Burr became the third Vice President of the United States (1801–1805) under Thomas Jefferson. His duel with Alexander Hamilton in 1804, which resulted in Hamilton’s death, permanently tarnished his reputation, though Burr continued to practice law and exert influence.

This fragment likely originates from Burr’s extensive legal career in New York, where he served as counsel in many cases both before and after his vice presidency. His use of the phrase “of counsel for compt.” indicates his role as legal representative in a case involving a complainant, showcasing his continuing prominence in the legal profession even amid political controversy.
