kyhistorian01 Posted January 18, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 18, 2010 Here is another postcard photo from my archive. It appears to be an officer and when enlarged I can make out a 1 over a KY and behind it looks like infantry crossed rifles. Any comments or opinions welcome.

KySoldier Posted March 25, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 25, 2010 :think: Interesting photo and uniform. Have you been able to identify him?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST Posted March 25, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 25, 2010 Nice image! Ok, first off I am no sword/saber expert so take this question with a big grain of salt. Isn't that the 1902 officer's sword? Also he doesn't have the "USV" on his collar. When was that reg changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going by the uniform for dating of the photo, but you are right it is a model 1902 so I am guessing the photo is from the early 1900s. Also many state regiments wore their state initials not USV for volunteer. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
