I bought it off Amazon for about 12 dollars. The tintype has some fingerprints on the back of it that appears to be blood stained but is probably just some ink.  |

I’m certain this is Tom O’Folliard in the tintype. Trying to get some help to authenticate it

It won’t let me post it since it’s to much data but I can tell you that it doesn’t give a hint of it’s origin.
