As far as the Low resolution, How do I change or improve that, without going to Photo class? LOL
Do you have a flat-bed scanner? Might provide better resolution, though the cheap ones don’t have the highest resolution, either. This website may also have some limit on resolution.
Here is a A.I. colorized version.
The original photo flipped, cropped, and slightly enhanced.
The A.I. never get the colors right, but always interesting to ponder what it was like in color.

Bob,I’ve tried to take the pics without the plastic protective sleeve, and even tried to gently wipe the fuzzies of the Tin Type
with a soft dry tissue.

I tried the different size photo’s from the phone, and tried to focus in on some of the, areas everyone is talking about,
besides the “73” Winchester, in the Pic. Like the Mills Cartridge Belt, and even the Nickel plated Revolver.
Interesting photo, to say the least. So where does everyone think it might have been taken? U.S. ?
The U.S. would be my guess. Any other thoughts? Not many clues that I could see in the photo to suggest any where else to me!
Thanks,
Tony
When I use my cell phone to take pictures and then send them to my email address it always asks me what size file to send. It gives me 3 choices and I always pick the largest file. Play with your phone and see if you can select a size. Flatbed scanners are great but you have to set the resolution to something better than standard.

Hadn’t noticed it in the original, but the colorized print make it apparent that he’s wearing gaiters, & that his trousers are striped.
I have recently been amazed by the improvements in this technology (which formerly I despised) in a multi-part French WWI documentary called “Apocalypse”; by far the best yet produced on the Great War. But in this case, the color programmers had the advantage of knowing colors of uniforms & equipment. In combat scenes of men & equipment chaotically jumbled together, the additional detail provided by color makes it much easier to pick out what is what.

Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) directed and produced a WWI documentary called “They Shall Not Grow Old” that came out in 2018.
It is one of the best uses of this technology I’ve seen lately. Not only did they do the colors real well. They also corrected the frame rate to look realistic, instead of the old jumpy speed up version.
I’ll have to watch the French documentary.

Limestone,
Here is a tintype I scanned with a old scanner and the same one I photographed with a older android smartphone. As to rotating a photo I found the paint program in window 10 will rotate a image and save it correctly. I have another program I use for photos which will rotate the image on the computer but once you upload it, it shows up rotated. Its a issue with smart phones which saves the angle the phone was in when the picture was taken and some web sites don’t recognize the angle.

I’d also like to see the Jackson film–the only WWI doc I know of that I haven’t seen. “Apocalypse” can be viewed on Curiosity Stream, which costs all of $12/yr & provides the highest quality non-fiction programming I’ve discovered on TV, the best of it produced by Arte France, the French equivalent of BBC, except PC-free. (Watching it inspired me to buy a Model 1915 French helmet, the first steel helmet issued in the war, & the one both MacArthur & Patton chose to wear.)
The original 5-part “Apocalypse” was followed by a 3-part sequel on the Russian Revolution, which is in some ways more interesting because it includes so much film footage previously unknown in this country; the Bolsheviks considered cinema their greatest propaganda tool & so made lavish use of it.
Here are some better pictures of Limestone’s tin type. Now with a little better image It looks like a 3rd model not a 1st.

I agree as well. You can tell by the lower rear receiver screw by the lever found on the 3rd models.

Looks to be a Buffalo buckle and 45-70 loops. Could be 44-40 or 38-40s tucked inside.

I agree and just my opinion here. I think what everyone is seeing at the bottom of the loop is a shadow of the loop. I believe a 44 wcf or possibly the 38 wcf, which is possible it being a 3rd model, is tucked in them and goes about half way down. But this photo is not easy to make out such details. When you compare to other period photos it seems apparent, at least to me.
Take a look at Teddy’s 45-75 WCF belt with the bear buckle. You can clearly see the end of the brass case go past the loop and you can see the bullet on the end of the brass casing.
Sincerely,
Maverick
