1862 Ambrotype Photo ID'd Civil War Soldier w Muster Card & AURORA RIFLES Banner
Original 6th plate ambrotype in full case, showing Gustavus Aucutt with an "Aurora Rifles" banner over his shoulder and holding what is probably his Civil War muster card. He is identified inside of the case as "Gus Aucutt". Aucutt volunteered for the war in 1862 and joined the 124th Illinois Volunteer infantry. This photo was very likely taken on the day he volunteered. I'm sure a lot more info can be found online.

Ambrotype is in excellent condition. I see a couple of very tiny mat abrasions.

It's housed in a union case (Farm Boy theme, which is very appropriate if you read Aucutt's bio) that is in very good vintage condition overall with some light edge/corner wear.
