Description
Two 1/6th Plate Tintypes of Armed Rascals. Each side of a gutta percha case houses a Civil War era portrait showing a rakish pistolero. One fellow has two full-size percussion revolvers whereas his colleague holds only one such weapon. Both gentlemen strike an odd pose by pressing a weapon muzzle-down into one of their own thighs. One cannot help but wonder if these fellows are outlaws, southern partisans, or simply gun lovers. Both images have a light blue halo around the edges and exhibit crazing. The case has a few minor chips and one split panel that needs repair. Overall good condition.Auction Info
