Whatever its just an opinion.
He must have been doing alright for himself. Wonder what became of him.
Who is he? Should be able to find out if he is a RKT

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
I can only take photo's of it so maybe not as clear as you want.

Jerry sorry i haven't come back to this sooner , i must admit this photo doesn't leave me with the feeling that it's original , the photo itself looks like the shade / quality / paper of the print is not correct and the rear suggests faked black album residue which is the fakers latest trick , as it was a freebie no loss mate but in our war against the fakers it would be good if you can carry out a blacklight test on it ?
cheers
