In seriousness, though, the bullet hole in the forehead is distracting, and there are also dings on the left side of his mustache (our visual right), scratches on his cheeks next to the mustache dings, scratches on his left lapel, and a light but large semi-circular scratch in the right obverse field. I'm just guessing, but those collectively may explain the 63. Report this Post to the Staff
