Exceptional Civil War CDV size tintype of a fully equipped Union soldier posed with his musket at his side and a sidearm tucked at his hip. The bearded soldier wears a Hardee-style hat adorned with an infantry insignia and company letter, along with a standard-issue frock coat. He sports both eagle breastplate and U.S. waist belt plate, and stands confidently with full kit on display.

Housed in a fine thermoplastic case with rich brown velvet pad and brass mat, the image exhibits good clarity with only minor surface spotting and typical age-related wear. The presence of both longarm and sidearm in this pose adds significant interest. An outstanding example of a fully armed volunteer infantryman, captured in striking studio presence.
