The two on the left look like father and son. Same uniform, probably the same pistol used as a prop by the photographer. The guy on the right must have been a proud cook to pose with his ladle. I have no idea on the type of photography, but the images are Civil War it seems. If you go to American Civil War forumshttps://civilwartalk.com/, join and post the pics they will be able to tell you the most. Experts on old pics, uniforms, soldier identity, and more. Gary

Thanks for the tip! I just started a thread over there and will let people here know what they say when I get some responses.

They look a little odd to me, the one of the guy with the cooking pot almost looks like a photocopy of a photograph to me. I would be very careful as there are a lot of fakes out there.

Well, they’re bogus. I emailed an expert who deals in these and he said he sold the originals of thee photographs and these are copies. Oh well
