FULL STANDING CDV OF A PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRYMAN

$145.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: P13355

Image shows a sharp dressed bearded Union cavalrymen named Pierce. He is posed by a column and base wearing a dark commercial sack coat that has a four-button front with a breast pocket and a pocket on each side of the skirt. He also wears light trousers with knee high boots and gauntlets. In his right hand he holds a forage cap with crossed saber insignia. The photographers focus was good for the overall subject but not sharp enough to clearly catch the insignia on the hat as there is a collection of letters and numbers around the crossed sabers. As near as can be determined it appears to be a company letter above the sabers and a regimental number below. Flanking the sabers are the letters “P. C.” for “PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY.” Neither the Company letter or the regimental number can be made out however the regimental number does appear to be a single digit.

The reverse of the image has a photographers imprint for F. GUTEKUNST… PHILDAELPHIA. Across the top of the reverse in pencil is “PIERCE” and below that the number “12.”

With the item are records of 11 different men named PIERCE who served in Pennsylvania cavalry regiments. These are just one page printouts from the Internet. Perhaps the regimental number can be made out with some computer work. Either way the image is clean with good contrast.
