Description
Exceptional 8th plate tintype of Federal cavalryman heavily laden with the tools of his trade. Full standing pose of this trooper wearing a M1851 sword belt rig and armed with a M1860 heavy cavalry saber. A carbine sling is worn over the shoulder from which hangs a Burnside carbine. These carbine images don’t show up very often and this is a classic example of your typical Federal cavalryman. It does come housed in a rare, full thermoplastic case. There is however a slight bit of damage to the case itself. Great carbine image!
