Quarter plate ambrotype of an unidentified, but heavily armed soldier, possibly Confederate, standing at attention against a stark studio backdrop. The bearded private wears a dark blue kepi and grey-colored shell jacket, the unidentified oval belt plate tinted gold and unreadable. A pair of percussion Derringer pistols, possibly Philadelphia Derringers, can be seen tucked in the private's belt with attached bayonet scabbard. He carries what appears to be an imported British made P1856 Short Rifle (Enfield Sergeant's Pattern) fixed with a brass handled saber bayonet. Housed in full case. While this soldier has the "look and feel" of a Southerner there is insufficient evidence to make a firm pronouncement as all of the presumed Confederate attributes can also be explained in the context of an early war Federal volunteer. Provenance: From the Estate of Kenneth Erwin, Portland, Michigan Condition: Housed in full case that is partially separated at hinge; some spotting and wear along perimeter of image where plate meets mat.
