Very Young Civil War Soldier Tintype Photo Cavalry Gloves Gold Painted Buttons genealogy with bits of album pageOriginal ninth plate (1 9), circa 1863 tintype of a very young soldier in uniform I'm pretty sure his goatee is drawn or scraped onto the image! His belt buckle, several coat buttons and insignia on his hat have been painted gold, and he's wearing heavy leather cavalry gloves. Tintype is behind its original mat and glass and comes in a full, intact case with repaired spine. Several bends and spots of image loss. 4704A
