12thengr Posted November 9, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 9, 2013 This used to be a yard-long, until some idiot cut it up 'cause he couldn't find a big enough frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thengr Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share #2 Posted November 9, 2013 Anyway, some close-ups. The trooper in the middle looks like he may have an artillery badge of some sort on his pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thengr Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted November 9, 2013 The hat bands look dark enough to be red and just early pistol belts, no rifle gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavdoc83 Posted November 11, 2013 Share #5 Posted November 11, 2013 Great photo. A couple of the guys are wearing mounted breeches. I love the 1903 mounted pistol belts. Arty is best bet, but remember that yellow Cav trim usually photographs as dark in this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12thengr Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted November 11, 2013 What I like best is the raggedy-backside look of these troops. It seems they have been in the field for awhile. Pvt. short-sleeves is a great example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
