Ozias Sanford, Co. F (Vermont) 1st USSS, in uniform with his issued DST Sharps rifle with a tang sight. Despite the fact that it was not issued with the sight, and it was government property, Sanford apparently had it mounted in the field or elsewhere. A May 6th 1864 letter describing the battle of the Wilderness to his father states in part, "I tried my new sights and they work well" which might be in reference to the sights seen in his portrait.
