Sixth plate tintype. (Image a touch dark, soft detail, some residue, surface wear to plate.) Housed in full, pressed paper case (surface wear). Studio portrait of a pair of infantry privates both with uncommon pistols. The fellow at left appears to hold a Volcanic pistol while the subject at right seems to be holding an Allen & Wheelock revolver. They are wearing shell jackets with cloth epaulettes suggesting that they could be from Illinois or New York.
