Default History help.....who is this guy?

Recently bought a beater lot of T206 cards that were scatter scanned by the seller. 100 cards but I had no idea who a quarter of the cards would be.

They arrived and I found it interesting. Looks like they were posted on a large card stock portrait.....decent thickness. I can't put the rest of it together but definitely parts of his jacket and other stuff. Does anyone know who this might be?

Gotta say, killer 'stache

Looks a bit like Genereal P.G.T. Beauregard, but the uniform is not correct:

Probably a French officer.

On a more tongue-in-cheek level, he does look like a relative of the following character, who is also French:

Not sure why you didn't do it the first time, but try putting the cards close together so it gives us a better overall pic.

They don't fit like that. When I tried that It was obvious they were attached in gaps and then the gaps were cut away.

I think Nap 3 is the answer!

Does this mean you have four rare "Napoleon" backed T 206's? :-)

So at the time they were pasted, they weren't trimmed and then were cut out and trimmed sometime later.

Yes Nap 3 is the answer - it's the exact same picture.
