Title Carte de visite, Seaforth Highlander (officer)
Nationality Scottish
Period c 1890
Sold

Well detailed portrait of a young officer in full dress, complete with bonnet, broadsword and dirk. Note the belt plate details for the regimental insignia and the plaid brooch. Probably taken prior to overseas posting, possibly to India since the other cartes de visite from the same source are all Indian.

My Arisaka arrived at 9.00am. Very prompt delivery and excellent packaging! The blade is superb.. and just what I was after, its in very fine condition and just as you described.. I've referenced it in my copy of Raymond La Bar's book "Bayonets of Japan".

Many thanks, Chris, once again its been a pleasure doing business!
