Description
Confederate Double-Armed Soldier 1/6th Plate Ambrotype. This seated volunteer shoulders what appears to be a .69 caliber Model 1842 musket and, for action at close quarters, he holds a pocket revolver. He's also outfitted with a cap box, socket bayonet and cartridge box. The soldier's uniform is of a dark gray and has a single row of buttons, which might be Confederate infantry issue with a block "I" on the face. The subject's face and hands are lightly tinted. Houses in a leatherette case from which the lid has separated. Overall very good condition. This image came out of a Texas estate and is accompanied by a partially printed State of Texas Confederate widow's pension application that was never completed. A soldier who dies in 1875 - James Verdren Sams - is named and it is claimed that he was a member of the Beaufort (South Carolina) Volunteer Artillery from 1862 through 1865. Either this image is of Sams before he joined an artillery company or is of a relative.Auction Info
