Hi..well if this was real you would have a very valuble note worth thousands of dollars.I'm afraid yours is not real.Here's what to look first all these notes were hand signed usually in brown ink never printed signatures also they never used yellow parchament type paper.A lot of replicas are printed on this paper to look old.The key for me to know is the serial number that number is a common number used on these types of replicas.Here is a web site for checking out Fake Confederate notes.
