Confederate Civil War Soldier Tintype Armed w Bowie Knife & Colt Revolving Rifle

  

Please allow 24 hours for a response. Amazing tintype of a Confederate soldier holding a rifle and Bowie knife. I believe the rifle was the famous model 1859 Colt revolving rifle, but I'm not 100%.. I do know that Civil War images with revolving rifles are hard to find.

3" x 1 3/4" tintype comes with, but not affixed to, a 4" x 2.5" paper sleeve. Note that in my scan, a mat is partially visible, so this tintype is a period, c1865 photographer's copy tintype of what I believe was most likely an ambrotype. Condition of the tintype is very good antique, or better. Light surface wear and/or grime, one little flaw down by the stock of the rifle. This is guaranteed to be an original circa 1865 tintype, NOT a modern reprint of any kind. Discounted Express is also available.
