Description
I contacted Christine Heinrichs, she is SPPA Historian, to help me with identification.
Here her response: My first impression is that he is an Old English Game.
Old English Games are a classic foundation breed. Note that Sand Hill Preservation Center has one on its logo. The one on the logo has a comb and the one in your photo does not because for exhibition purposes, combs on games are dubbed, that is, cut off. It's a custom that goes back to their fighting history, when the comb could be a vulnerable point for a fighting rooster. The opponent could grab it and toss him around. So all game roosters are now dubbed for showing.

Dear Viktor, This is fabulous! He is a handsome dude! Of course all your work is great and I enjoy your array of art in your galleries on FAA. I will come back later today and look some more. (I need to organized my art into separate galleries. I have been procrastinating on doing that for quite a while...)
