Could this be a proof? Or is it a fake? The numbers in my opinion are kinda everywhere but all skinny lines are visible and there is great detail in the feathers.

Like your 1871 the date just looks way off. Unfortunately this too is fake. Hope you didn't pay much....

Look at how the last "8" in the date is far to the right and the "87" in the middle is mashed together. That's just not right.

Facial features, such as the earlobe and even the lips, don't look right, either.
