Open the case and see the plush red velvet under the lid. The photograph is behind glass.. And it has a shaped inner gold mount under the glass and a gold raised floral design frame sat on top of the glass.... Keeping it all in place. Sometimes these inner frames come out.....
But this one is solid and I do not want to spoil it taking it out.. So I have NOT been into the back of it. The photograph has a crinkled look about it when looking close.
I do not know if it is a TIN type AMBRO type or DAGUERREOTYPE photograph.... Maybe you collectors can see from my photographs. What country is the solder from? Well I cannot fully see the badges...
He has an American look but of course could quite easy be an English soldier. The photo is of a soldier... Stood in full front pose...
Wearing a uniform and hat and holding a Sword. He has a large badge on each arm of the jacket.. These have crossed swords on them within a wreath... With something else between them at the top and bottom.. As well as a single STRIPE below the badge on each arm. A large brass belt buckle can be seen as well as a cross belt.. And a smaller badge up near the shoulder...Just near his arm pit of the left arm as you look at him, he has a rope or chain hung in a loop from here and it goes up to the smaller badge on his shoulder.. Typical Officer whistle or similar hanging from here. His hands have no gloves on.
