1/8 Civil War Tintype Armed Washington Grays Private Penn Buckle, US Flag

  
This is a nice 1/8 plate (2 1/2" x 3 3/4") tintype of a young Yankee private. He stands at attention, uniformed in his four-button sack coat and dark blue trousers. He wears a cartridge box sling, cap pouch, sash, and a Pennsylvania state belt plate (upside down). The badge on his kepi has WG surrounded by a wreath, the badge of the Washington Grays , a militia organization out of Philadelphia. The Grays formed two companies of the 17th Pennsylvania and also organized companies to defend the state from Lees invasions in 1862 and 1863.

Parade flag is playfully sticking out of the front of the mans kepi. He is armed with a Model 1842 Springfield musket with fixed bayonet. Behind the man, the photographers neck brace is visible in front of the painted backdrop. Comes in a full leather case with repaired hinge.
