The jersey plus the hat with the brim pinned up on one side make me believe this trooper comes from
Mississippi. I googled images from Mississippi cavalry units and a very similar hat is seen in an
image of a published trooper from the 1st MS Cav.. Also, I.D.'d Mississippi cavalry units in the
Confederate Faces series have similar battle shirts. The image is dark with some haloing as can be
seen in the scan, but the subject is fantastic. This is a 1/9 plate clear ambro and comes in a 1/2
leatherette case. I believe the revolver is a Whitney which was issued to several Union Cavalry units
making me wonder if this was a battlefield capture. We'll never know the circumstances for sure. #10010=$565.00.
