Crisp CDV of Armed & Very Determined Yank
Item #: JMS-281
This unidentified image is likely of a Federal artilleryman. It looks as if he is sporting the metallic shoulder scales some of those fellows wore. He has a very determined look on his face. You can clearly see his musket (looks to be a M. 1861), cap box, circular cross belt plate and oval belt plate. I can't tell if there is a "US" in the oval but that is most likely. He is probably a Pennsylvanian or perhaps a New Jersey boy since the image was taken in Philadelphia.
There is minor age toning on the verso and a very legible backmark. The corners are clipped, probably to accommodate insertion in an album long, long ago.
