Can anyone ID the era of this photo or the officer himself? The ribbons should be able to help my dad says it looks like Blackjack Pershing what are your thoughts.

That's who it is. The eagle is way off - looks like an ROTC cap badge with the scroll across the top rather than the cloudburst.

 

So was this done by a amateur painter and that's why the insignia is a bit odd?

Every American Legion Post from Bar Harbor Maine to San Francisco Ca. Had a Pershing Photo.Some endorsed by the general,these ran the spectrum from good to not good.This is a not good,but it's got appeal . Mike
