CDV John Henry Dorman

[John Grant]

I've had this photo in my collection for many years.

His extensive estate (medal of honor, GAR medals, newspaper articles, photos, etc.) was offered for sale in Germany in 2012 for €14,000. However, it was never sold! Shortly after the auction, the then owner died, and as I learned, the heirs subsequently fought over the estate. I can't say what happened to this estate later; it never resurfaced in the collector world.

I still have the 2012 auction catalog with pictures, but unfortunately, I'm not allowed to show it.
