Zouave or Turco tintype on EBay

[RN_PAC]

Very nice pic of what appears to be a fellow from the 146th NY with what appers to be a 5th NY style sash (this type of sash was also worn by other units including the 165th and the 5th Vets' second issue uniform). May be a 5th NY three-year man folded into the 146th; studio images of such not uncommonly demonstrate the individual wearing bits of 5th NY kit, usually the jacket or shirt-vest and sometimes the sash.

Too bad I cannot obtain a larger image; would be nice to puruse it for details.

I'm still surprised the bid is rather low on this incredible find!

Two more hours...
