This 1/6 plate tintype features a young soldier wearing a frock coat and kepi with upturned bill. He holds his musket with bayonet across his body. He has a
chest belt that holds a cartridge box and a waist belt with a cap box and US belt plate. There is no gilding on the image. There is some emulsion stippling on
the lower part of the image, but it is stable. The image has been married to a thermoplastic case (Berg's #2-65, Sea Shells). The case is in good condition with
a small chip out of one corner and a chip at the clasp. This image displays well. #10870=$495.00
