It could have been issued in others as well. It's a nice photograph even if it wasn't printed in 1951.

Thanks Mike - I was leaning towards a later Team Issue as well, but would welcome other responses if anyone else has seen this one. I love the image, but I’m skeptical of the dating of the photo and whether it was issued that year!
