Lot Description
[CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate tintype of Union cavalryman posed with multiple weapons. 

Sixth plate tintype. (Image a bit dark, contrast weak but details still discernible, wear to perimeter where plate meets mat.) Housed under mat, glass, and preserver; no case. An unidentified, well-armed cavalry private is shown wearing a regulation shell jacket with early war brass shoulder scales and a Model 1858 Hardee hat with crossed sabers insignia. He is armed with four weapons, including a pistol and two belted knives. The fourth is difficult to discern.
