All debentures shall bear the facsimile signature of the Director of Veterans Affairs and the Deputy Director of Veterans Affairs and shall be authenticated by the trustee. The seal of the Department of Veterans Affairs shall be impressed, mechanically reproduced or imprinted by facsimile upon each debenture. The interest coupons attached to any debenture shall bear a facsimile of the signature of the Director of Veterans Affairs. In case any such official whose signature or countersignature appears on the debentures or coupons shall cease to be such official before the debentures so signed or countersigned shall have been actually executed or delivered, such signature or countersignature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if he had remained in office until the delivery of the debentures, and such debentures and coupons shall be issued and shall be as binding upon the department as though the person who signed such debentures or coupons had been such official on the date borne by the debentures or coupons and on the date of delivery. Any such debentures may be signed and sealed on behalf of the department by such person as at the actual date of execution of such debentures shall be the Director of Veterans Affairs or the Deputy Director of Veterans Affairs, as the case may be, although on such date as may be borne by such debentures any such person shall not have been such official.
