Great photo. Legendary is offering the same one in their next auction claiming its from 1919, but theirs doesn't look to be Type I.

Thanks gents.

Jake, thanks for pointing this out.

I will need to do some more research. The auction I bought it from said 1918..but there is no def date stamp.

The legendary one is interesting.. If it was a type 1, I would think they would psa it like they do most of the high end photos. The later stamp is not period but that could have been done later. The question is, was the date and description on the top added later than that date(1919)?
This is why psa is very helpful with online auctions as it relates to photos. You cannot tell by only the scans many times. If it is a type 1 and I was the consigner, I would not be very happy as it could cost him/her thousands.

Looking at both photos I like yours better but I'm no expert other than knowing the basics. I agree that if it were a true Type I, you'd think they wouldve sent it to PSA. Their description however is saying its original.

Thanks..I am not sure as the scan you see is the only one I have. I will let you know when I receive it. I am assuming this will help determine the date?

If this is the one from SCP, I think the International News back stamp seems to indicate it should be Type I: Link
