If I had a jersey from anybody from that era I could understand trying to match it to all available photos of that person, after all there are considerably fewer pictures of Walter Johnson than there are of Gavin Lux.

I'm not an "expert" but I am qualified to look at the photo that JollyElm posted and say that the area in the right oval does not match in my opinion, and the W certainly looks different in each of them.

I would also question what the difference is between an "expert" and the homeless guy I gave a dollar to yesterday, when it comes to their ability to differentiate those, or any, photos.

I'm with Snapoli1 and CalvinDog when it comes to my thoughts.

It's certainly seems to be a cool old Senators jersey, as for the rest of it...
