He appears to wear a NCO belt plate with applied silver wreath. Housed in full case (fully separated at hinge) (tintype a touch dark, but good overall). -- 4 x 3 in. uncased tintype featuring a standing portrait of a soldier with a rifle with bayonet. Note the photographer's reflector near the right edge of the plate (tarnish and discoloration to edges, image soft in focus). -- Sixth plate ambrotype of a hunter (not wearing military-style clothing) holding a percussion shotgun.
