ciroferrara,

Does it have a Natal photographer’s mark on the reverse of the photograph?

The pagri on the helmet rather put me off, given that South Africa was not a station where they were normally worn. The 2nd Battalion, 13th (1st Somersetshire) Prince Albert’s Light Infantry were stationed in Madras in 1879/80. India was a station where the pagri was worn.

Hi John

There is no photographers stamp.
I think it must be an Indian photo.
No wonder I only paid £10!
Cheers
