Re: "Support Arms." Early/ Pre-War 1/6 plate Ambrotype
Sir, I have looked at this image and have a couple of comments. Looking at state emblem shako plates, I am curious if this is not the S.C. palmetto tree emblem. Also hard to tell but is he at "Support Arms" with a flintlock musket? Anyway, my curiosity and my two cents, thanks.Mel Hadden, Husband to Julia Marie, Maternal Great Granddaughter of
