Description
Great CDV Portrait of a Federal Infantryman, Probably 44th Mass. Inf., With ID on Verso but Difficult to Discern. Wears shell jacket with Enfield ctg. Box and sling and waist belt with snake buckle. A large eagle pommel Roby Bowie knife is tucked in the front of his belt. Holds Enfield rifled musket with bayonet fixed. Military backdrop and American flag on the table at his side. Appears to be a period copy of a tintype. Backmark of "Miller 58 Main Street Charlestown" (Mass.) Very fine quality and condition, possibly slightly trimmed along the top edge but detracts nothing from the image. Important image providing a context for the use of these rare knives.Auction Info
