Armed Union Civil War Soldier Rifleman Hardee Hat Ruby Ambrotype

Here is a killer early-War image of a Union soldier, probably from New Hampshire based on the similarity to other known examples. This is one of the brightest, bast contrasted civil war I've ever had and it has some pretty rare content to boot. This ruby glass ambro is a sixth-plate in size.

He's sporting a Union frock with a scarce M1855 rifleman's belt rig around his waist. In one hand is a short rifle with attached sabre bayonet (which was designed to go with the rifelman's belt rig). In the other hand is a sweet Hardee hat which has a hat cord, Jeff Davis pin, Infantry bugle, ostrich plume, and a company designation, maybe an'F'. This is a super nice early Civil War ambrotype. It's housed in a half leatherette case.
