Hey everybody I have a lot of confederate history around where I live & a lot of relatives of past soldiers. I run a small store and had a gentleman bring this in today. The tintype pictured is wintham west company c fayette county planters. Also comes with a heart shape buckle? Wintham was only in service for a few months and was killed in 1862 winchester virginia. This picture was taken prior to the war since he didn't make it out. Does anyone recogonize anything military with his clothing? He appears to be in civilian dress. I guess if that's the case could have been taken during enlistment. Does anyone think it might be a post mortem photo? The neck seems elongated?
