Unlike Prussia, where a line officer had to be a Hauptmann or up to get the Royal Autograph, in Bavaria the ruler signed everybody's commissions-- at least in the REGULAR army.
I scanned as much of this as would fit, but lose the seniority number (top left) and the minor details of issuing authority and repetition of recipient's name and rank at bottom.
This is a 1917 Major's commission for Alois Louis, of Bavarian Infantry Regiment 14 before the war.
