it looks fine, but the eagle is bending the head; in the photo the head is up, could be a police; the photo most probably was taken in Jesus Maria or Arandas, Jal. between 1920 and 1930. I think he is my great-grandfather half brother. All of these photos were given to my father when my gg father past the way by, the last and third wife. thank you, Leticia Leon
