Interesting. Do you know if this photo was an original or recycled?

My grandma had an original on her dresser. I got this digital copy from one of my moms cousins whose dad is in the picture. I don’t know if she scanned an original or if someone sent it to her digitally

Oh, I think I understand what you are asking. Like was it reprinted on something? I think there were multiple prints made from a single negative. This scan looks exactly like my Grandma’s hard copy. I can’t recall if I have seen another hard copy. I think at my Aunt’s house?

So I think any issue would be with the negative itself

I can’t help but wonder where all these gentlemen are now. It’s fascinating. Thanks for posting.

They’re all dead. The Curly haired one died in his teens in a plane crash while on leave from the war. The oldest two grew into kind and gentle men. The youngest was a wild card. He we served in Korea. He was funny and rough and kind and taught me how to play cards and garden. He had no teeth and only wore striped bibbed overalls. He had a skunk as a pet. He passed in the early 2000s after reuniting with an old lover (like Biblically) and I am so happy for him to have gone that way.

Edit: a word
