The subject wears a non-regulation frock coat with riflemen's over-the-shoulder leather gear and a prominent powder horn. He holds a Dimick style civilian target rifle, possibly of the kind carried by the 66th Illinois, Birge's Western Sharpshooters. He also carries a belted large frame revolver without holster, which could be a photographer's prop.
