    Almost every year we get the question about the near and far 6 1926's. Some people use lines to connect to different points which get confusing. Look at the gaps between the 9-2, 2-6 and 6 to leaf. If they are all about the same, then it's a far 6. If the 9-2 and 2-6 are off, the 6 will be closer to the leaf and it's a near 6. The large clear photos in the above link will show it clearly. From your photo, it's hard to tell, but maybe a far.
