This photo was acquired by my parents when stationed inJapan from 1946-1949. It has been nicelystored with our family collectibles since that time. It has a 1 inch split above the wrestler’s head,a crease on the side of the head, a small split on the left side and a fewstains. It also shows stains in the back from former attachment to an album. This is a very nice collectible photo.
