6th Plate Ambrotype of Three Unknown Civil War Soldiers Union or Confederate

Original vintage Civil War 6th plate size ambrotype by unidentified photographer. This is a studio view of three unidentified American Civil War soldiers.

I suspect these are Union soldiers, but I'm not 100% certain of that. The seated men wear single-breasted shell jackets and kepis with the letter "A" on the front, indicating that they were members of Company A of some military unit. The standing man wears a double-breasted jacket with large metal epaulets. His cap reminds me of a naval cap, but I'm unsure. Please note that there is a vertical scratch and missing emulsion at the right side of the plate (visible in scan).

Image is housed in a complete case that is detached at the spine. Wish I knew who or what these guys were. Overall Fair Condition and Guaranteed Original.
