Very good condition. A considerable amount of surface dirt
on the obverse and the reverse shows that the photo has been
pasted into at least two different photo albums. The faces
of the soldiers, though, are sharp and clear as are the
chains and fobs they have used to try to dress up their
uniforms for their portrait photo.
