- Held by the National Archives as a record of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (Record Group 65, FBI Office of Public Affairs). The catalog marks the item "Use Restriction: Unrestricted." The placard number is probably a New York police or prison booking number, so the original exposure may not be a federal work; this archive relies on the catalog's unrestricted mark.
The National Archives catalog titles this print “Charles Luciano Mugshot.” It is in the FBI Office of Public Affairs series “Photographs Related to Various Criminal Cases of the FBI” (Record Group 65), local identifier 65-CC-37-9. The placard reads “B92168 JUNE 1936”, and a typed strip reads “Charles Luciano, FBI 62920.” The date on this page is the placard’s month.
What this page does not claim: the B-number placard is probably a New York police or prison booking number, so the photograph may have been taken by a non-federal agency; the catalog does not name one. “FBI 62920” is an identification number printed on the strip, not a case file number. The file unit, “Organized Crime Figures - Charles ‘Lucky’ Luciano, Arthur (Dutch Schultz) Flegenheimer, Sam Giancana, Michael Cohen” (65-CC-37), has no other digitized items besides this print and the Schultz mug shot.
