Infantry bugle for sure, can you read the numbers? Or is that one of those fancy cloth Officers hat bugles where pieces of cord appear to hang down? Sure looks like an enlisted Frock to me but, he appears to be pretty well dressed for an enlisted man. I wonder if this officer just drew his frock form the Btn. QM?

It almost looks like 117 to me dave. Definitely an enlisted frock.

Is this the first guy's brother?

117th PA was a cavalry unit
117th NY Fourth Oneida Regiment
That's all of the 117th's I can find.
