Civil War Confederate Soldier Dag or tin type photograph 1860's

  
Civil War Confederate Soldier Daguerreotype or tintype photograph 1860's. 2.75 x 3.25 inches. Unconventional long hair for the period. Image appears to have been cleaned by family at one point in the images long history with loss of sharpness impacted. Some residue on the reverse. Scratches on the image surface not effecting the sitting subject and primarily with in the background area. The mirror image aspect of a typical Dag is not present here.

However a strong silver emulsion makes up the foundation and background of the image. This aspect is uncharacteristic of a typical tintype. Thus not 100 % sure of the photo process even though I have handled 100's of tintypes dags and ambros. Perhaps a dag that has been cleaned or an unusual variant of the tintype process of the period. A great cilvil war image from the confederacy with an unusual southern non-regulation dress.
