My opinion (without actually holding it in hand) is that it is most likely a 1930's-40's era restrike. A couple of things jump out at me that lead me to think this. First, the paper loss left a fibrous white area which is common of post-WWI (late 1920's through the 1940's) paper stock used for photographs. Original 1910's images would have been on thinner paper stock unless it was a double weight image which still would not generally leave that type of pattern when loss occurred. The photo paper also seems thicker and more absorbent to the glue that was used to back it which is why it is stained that way. My conclusion is based solely on the paper stock used and not the quality of the photo itself. Looks like late 1920's-1940's era paper to me.
