post-399-1172728962.jpgHello.

 

I bid on this photo on ebay because I thought it was nice but it ended up selling for $260.00 so it must be something special.Could anyone identify it as to why it would be worth so much.

 

Thank you Al

Hi Al,

Early, esp. pre-WW1 images of Marine officers go for big, big money. It is a good, clear shot of an officer in a patrol coat and wearing an relatively early bellcrown. A lot of image collectors can tell you that a clear image from the early part of the 20th century is often hard to find.

BTW, congrats on your win of the 6th MarDiv Sgt. last night.

Hi Jeremiah,

 

It is a nice photo, I didn't realize it was that valuable.

 

Thank you,I did want that 6th Marine Division uniform.

 

This is my third dress green uniform from the 6th Marine Division.

 

 

Thanks,Al
