Lot Description
[CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate tintype portrait of a Union soldier doubly armed with an 1840 light artillery saber and spur trigger pocket pistol.
Seated portrait of a handsome young soldier wearing his blue-tinted trousers and a hard expression. He holds his saber down against the floor by its grip with one hand, and wears his pistol tucked into his belt just to the side of his rectangular eagle belt plate. (Small area of darker coloration to upper edge, remarkably clear image, some spotting to mat and preserver; unsealed.) Housed in a pressed paper case (surface wear).
