The soldier in this 1/4 plate ambrotype holds what appears to be an unsheathed foot officer's sword in his hand. His cover appears to be of the chauser style and I believe his shell jacket is a New York issue. There is a breast pocket that he has stuffed a kerchief into. There are 8 or 9 buttons on the jacket that has shoulder tabs and a waist belt loop. The image comes in a full leatherette case and has no identification. #11886=$375.00
