Very good condition. A considerable amount of surface dirt on the obverse and the reverse shows that the photo has been pasted into at least two different photo albums. The faces of the soldiers, though, are sharp and clear as are the chains and fobs they have used to try to dress up their uniforms for their portrait photo.
