Q: I was recently gifted an heirloom by a family member — The President’s Thanks and Certificat­e of Honorable Service. It is on parchment, and I think it’s from the Civil War. It’s printed with Lincoln’s “signature.” It is terribly faded and needs a dignified place in the family. Do you have a person who you would recommend? Thank you for your help. Susan Ellis, email
