possibly artillery wearing heavy gauntlet gloves. He holds a very
clear Model 1855 percussion rifle and a saber bayonet in a sheath on
his belt. His cross belt supports a cartridge box which is partially
in view along with a cap box. The inverted US oval buckle is crystal
clear in the Confederate fashion. In his breast pocket is either a
diary or small religious book. Only 7000 of these .58 caliber rifles
were made; with many being destroyed at Harper's Ferry 1861. Crystal
clear with slight blems; great
content....................................$2,950.00
 TRIPLE
ARMED REBEL

Young rebel holds a musket to his left, a large bowie knife in a
sheath on his belt, and a pistol in his belt. On his fabric belt is
stitched "RDS" possibly "ARDS". There is some
emulsion separation to the right of the soldier that slightly affects
the soldier. If this was perfect, it is a $2500+ image. With a little
research his unit should be able to be found. A good buy for a triple
armed Reb........................$1,200.00
