Early War Officer in a 1/6 ruby ambrotype. The coat lacks the cuff chevrons of the Federal issue frock. The shoulder tabs are characteristic of early war coast distributed by a number of states. This image came out of New Hampshire and comes in a full leatherette case. Although there is no I.D. from the unadorned cuffs and the trimmed cloth shoulder tabs on his frock coat, we know he is wearing a Lincoln & Shaw contract coat which means he's early New Hampshire. He wears a type 2 Purinton & Ham havelock hat. He could be 8th NHV, but he is most likely 6th NHV. This image is fantastic and bright. This image is published in my book "Civil War Hard Images; Union Volume 4. #12625=$575.00
