Antique 1860s Ambrotype Photo Of Armed Civil War Soldier Holding Painted Sword

  

1/6 ambrotype, soldier with painted gold shoulder boards, buckle and buttons, tinted pink cheeks and lips. On the table next to him is his shako with tinted red plume. I can't quite make out the words on the front or the insignia... Might be a musicians insignia OR a 75?

I've provided a closeup, (mirrored scan). Comes in full case with separated, matching covers. Clear glass ambrotype with painted back glass, behind mat and original glass. Very good antique condition as shown; my scan came out slightly blue tinted, actual color is a shade greener.

A nice Civil War image. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Photographic Images\Photographs". The seller is "jack_mord" and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
