Lot Description

[CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate tintype of a Confederate cavalryman displaying his Remington revolver.

Sixth plate ambrotype seated portrait of a youthful southern cavalryman proudly holding up what appears to be a Remington Army revolver. He wears a light colored cashmere roundabout having 5 unrecognizable state seal buttons with dark trousers. His belt plate is a cast brass rectangle, likely with an M1851 eagle design, but it is just slightly out of focus. Just visible to the viewer's left under the subject's jacket are brass saber hooks. Housed in a pressed paper case.
