SOLD!!!

A hard to find Surgeon's image! A nice bust image of Surgeon Charles W. Buvinger of the 80th Ohio Infantry. Buvinger was commisioned in May 1862 in the 80th Ohio Infantry as an Assitant Surgeon. He was promoted surgeon in January 1865. Written on the front of the image in period ink is" Very truly yours, Chs. Buvinger M.D., Ass't Surgeon 80th O.V.V.I.". I can see no backmark due to some type of medical paper attached to the back of the image.
