100% original, 1860s sixth-plate (1/6) tintype of an armed shirtless man
armed with a hand-colored dagger and pistol tucked into his belt. His beard
is wild, he is very thin, and his eyes are quite haunting.

The strong consensus among several knowledgeable Civil War collectors that 
I have shown this photo to is that he is a Confederate soldier. The prevailing 
theory about why his shirt is removed is that he is a possible repatriated 
prisoner of war, and his shirt was removed to show his physical condition 
(mainly his loss of weight).

This man appears too thin. If a prisoner, he possibly could have lost a significant 
amount of weight, enough so that people who knew him before he left for war 
would have been shocked at his appearance. This unusual photo could be a 
visual documentation of that.

That's one theory... Other interesting theories that have been proposed are: 
Confederate guerrilla, member of the famous Quantrill's Raiders, 
and even a photo of young Devil Anse Hatfield! (who formed a confederate 
guerrilla fighting unit during the Civil war called "The Logan Wildcats")... 
though a Confederate repat POW was the overwhelming conclusion 
among collectors.

Whatever the case, it's a very unique, unusual, and striking image.

1/6 tintype in a half-case, measuring 3.75" x 3.25".

Please note: 
Payment is due within 3 days unless other arrangements are made
with me beforehand.

Condition
Very good vintage condition overall. Light mat abrasions and solarization, as shown.
Emulsion is very good and stable. Image is very sharp and very clear. 
Tintype has no rust or bends.
