Description

The miniature portrait, which measures 3" high and 2 1/2" wide, contains the image of Lieutenant Alpha Kingsley of the 1st U.S. Regiment in the War of 1812. It shows Alpha with one epaulette, silver, and a black collar stock. His hair is in 1812-period style and he is a rather pleasant looking fellow. He is in a blue coat, faced with red, although the 200 years has faded the red to a rose color. But the details are still all there. On the back of the pendant is a glass opening with his initials on the glass and his hair woven under the glass. Kingsley was stationed on the western frontier during the War of 1812. He commanded a fort with around 30 men. This museum quality piece is rare because it shows an officer of the early republic. All sales final. No returns. No international shipping.
