This is a tintype that is pretty big for its time. It is 8.5 x 6.5 inches. Based on the uniform can anyone tell if this Civil War era or Indian Wars. Thanks

Agree that it is a Civil War uniform.

 

The photograph is most likely a post war copy image--fuzzy/ not sharp focus to details and heavy paint or coloration.

 

Creating larger images (blow ups) of Civil War images was a big part of the work of the typical late 19th photo studio.

The image is sharper and clearer than seen in the pictures. It is in a frame and I was trying to take pics through the glass without showing any reflection.
