Struck Awesome Again!

I didn't think I could ever find something like this, This could be one of my best finds, Miniature Portrait of a British Soldier in a round with glass intact cleaned since photo was taken and its believed to be gold framed. British troops had been in area.
Thanks for looking.

Clean just a bit waiting to hear back from a Art Restoration & Antique Repair

I hate to say this, but to me that looks like a corroded 1980s era portrait studio charm. I still have one kicking around with my family portrait on it from Penney's or Sears or something. Cheap zinc potmetal with a chrome-like plating on it. Will be interested to see what it cleans up like.

No sorry not from 1980s era portrait studio charm. it is Gold and was looked at by a Major Art Dealer. And it's not a photograph inside but a painted picture of someone wearing a British Uniform, unless Cornwallis marched his troops to Sears then you may have a point.

I'm not sure it has much resale value but a very cool find and would look great in a collection.
