Civil War CDV Capt Edwin Osborne 149th Pennsylvania Bucktail Reg. Positive ID

  
Up for sale is this great estate fresh right out of the attic CDV photograph. I had improperly attributed it to Col Roy Stone but with the generous help of a collector can now positively attribute this image to being Edwin S Orborne Captain and then Major of the 149th Pennsylvania Bucktail Regiment.

The last photo is a scan of a very similar CDV of Osborne that is identified that a collector gorgeously sent me to confirm this is indeed Osborne. Edwin can be seen in this photo with his military vest.

After the war Osborne went on to become a US Representative from PA. The CDV was taken by the Whitehurst Gallery of Washington D. C and is marked on the the back. The image is in fair condition showing some wear / discoloration / spotting and age and a few pin holes.
