CIVIL WAR ERA SOLIDER DAGUERREOTYPE PHOTO PHOTOGRAPH in THERMOPLASTIC UNION CASE For Sale

In very good to excellent condition. No missing parts or major damage. When the photo is removed & held up to a light source a few small spots/holes of light shinning through can be seen. These spots cannot be seen when the photo is in the case. One small chip to the thermoplastic \"Union Case\" in the upper right-hand corner of the front section. The felt & cardboard frame around the brass preserver metal mat is worn and not aligned properly (likely from being removed to examine the interior of the case) and needs to be expertly re-installed. The catch on the case sometimes will not \"click\" into place due to the felt being in the way of closing. The felt cover of the left side of the case interior has one small tear hole. Use the \"SUPERSIZE\" feature for each photo, as the photos often can illustrate the item’s condition better than any words can. Remember that the photos constitute part of the overall description. Please read the description completely & carefully view all photos.

On glass,
With a silver, mirror-like border edge,
With a black-coated backside,
Inside a folded-around ornate brass preserver,
With a felt-lined paper frame,
Inside a thermoplastic \"Union\" case.The subject is:
A young man with slicked-down hair,
Wearing a suit with a buttoned-up collar & a vest,
Holding some type of Colt revolver.The revolver is definitely a early Colt and appears to be one made in the 1860\'s. Supersize the photos to examine the details of the revolver.The soldier is in plain clothes, but he is holding what appears to be a 1980\'s Colt revolver pistol.PLEASE NOTE: I only have the word of the previous owner that this is a Confederate soldier in the photo. To me, he looks like just a everyday person in a suit and holding a gun. However,this pose was one that was often affected by soldiers (and outlaws).
The previous owner\'s explanation makes sense because why would a normal citizen be photographed in his best Sunday suit and holding his gun?!?
