Marktk36thIL Posted November 22, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 22, 2019 Here's a very young Marine in regulation uniform with piped jacket, white buff leather, and headgear (M insignia is gilded over). These images are much more rare than Confederate images from the war. This was a 1/6th tintype. I ended up selling the image to pay for another grouping that I need to do some further research before publishing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypilot6670 Posted November 22, 2019 Share #3 Posted November 22, 2019 Beautiful image , and the tinting is top shelf. These are very rare indeed.In 30 plus years collecting civil war I can recall seeing 3 and that’s counting this one and the one scottiques posted here a month or so ago. Thanks for posting.

mdk0911 Posted November 23, 2019 Share #4 Posted November 23, 2019 Awesome picture - very, very cool - with some Confederate images getting about 10K these days - what would this be worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted November 23, 2019 Share #5 Posted November 23, 2019 Very scarce image indeed! Also very clear and crisp and I agree with Skypilot excellent tinting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marktk36thIL Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted November 24, 2019 I ended up selling this one for $1600. Matt Flemming of The Civil War Image Shop listed it for $1800 but never did sell for that amount. Maybe it could have if I waited long enough, butni needed the capital to move onto a regiment I collect specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
