Woman Holding Sword & Feather Cap! Vivandiere or Mourning for Civil War Soldier? photography was murdered along with hisOriginal 1 9th plate tintype in half of a case. young woman wearing an interesting hat and holding a sword! Civil War years.. possibly a vivandiere? Or maybe she is holding the sword of a deceased soldier husband or brother? If so, there are examples that exist but they are very rare. The cap has a band and feather, and she is also wearing hand painted gold jewelry. An amazing image! Nice, clear image in excellent antique condition behind glass and
