Image came from an 88th Pennsylvania collector with several other identified images. If the collector knew the name of this officer he took it with him when he passed away. The full-standing view shows a Company grade officer wearing a dark slouch hat with a hat cord and an embroidered infantry hunting horn on the front with regimental numbers at center that are not clear enough to make out. He also wears a dark single-breasted frock coat with matching dark trousers that have thin light leg stripes. The subject is posed with his right hand on his hip leaning against his drawn Model 1850 Foot Officer’s sword. Around his waist is a sash and waistbelt with a Pattern 1851 rectangular plate and empty sword scabbard. http://www.horsesoldier.com/products/photography/albumens/32307
