This is one of those images that you have to look at just right or else the image disappears. [ATTACH=full]525047[/ATTACH]As you can see from the photo, it's FILTHY. But, it's not on the outside, it's on the inside. I removed it from the case, and thought the glass would just slip off. But, I think it's taped onto the photo.[ATTACH=full]525048[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]525049[/ATTACH] My first problem is, if I remove the tape, will the glass pulling from the photo destroy the photo? If I manage to get the glass off, what do I use to clean the photo?It's a shame if I can't do anything, it's great. I picked this up today and it was in the bottom of a junk pile. I have no idea if it's real. But, it's in pretty good shape, and the cheeks while faded, seem to have a little red, like they did way back when. The back is in excellent shape. Almost too excellent. Is this possibly a soldier?[ATTACH=full]525050[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]525051[/ATTACH] THANK YOU! Happy memorial day... even to this guy, whoever he is.[/QUOTE]
