Is this an image of a Soldier ?


Recommended Posts

It is a small-ish image, about 1 1/4 x 1 1/2 inches. The image is on tin, glued by paper to a large piece of paper with an oval opening. I bought this for a buck many years ago.

Thanks much!

Looks like a Civil War Union soldier to me, especially given how the coat isn't buttoned all the way down.

I don't see a soldier. The buttons look like plain face-- not an Eagle or seal button and a little small.

 

Also-- three buttons at that level would put it at 6 to 7 total.

 

A lot of civilian clothing of the era replicated uniform cuts and styles and I would think this is just that a civilian version made to look (somewhat) like a uniform coat.

Agree with Scott. Nothing in that image definitively says military. Also agree that those appear to be plain, flat buttons.
