I would contact David (Cycleback). He sorted through a huge assortment of Lincoln photos - mostly cdv's - and I also got to handle all of them. You have to understand that Lincoln was a hugely popular guy, so there were a LOT of cdv's of him created - many during his lifetime, probably more after he died, for at least twenty years afterward. Because there were so many created, even the ones printed during his lifetime could end up being photos of photos of photos.

In summary, I couldn't make any determination - nor could anyone else in my opinion - without having this item in hand or having a very large, clear scan.

Edited to add: I was fortunate enough to know a very old Civil War collector from the NE who also had a large collection of Lincoln cdv's - most were signed - so I've seen my share of these.
