Hi Folks,

i'm looking for a little advice on this. I've come across it pre-auction and not sure how to tell if its one of the real 50.

I checked the copy right pages and dates are 1925 (Volume I – 360 pages) and 1927 (Volume II – 351 pages). The book is 1/2 x 15 3/4 inches and weighs about 20 kilo's (give or take about 40lbs).

It includes the blue case too. Asking price is about $10k USD.

Any suggestions on any pics you'd need to prove authenticity?

I've seen a few of these.. The ones I've seen had a dedication in the front, named to the GL etc. but it was printed..

$10K.! One sold a couple years ago in auction for like $4K. Saw another go for $7K.. Never seen the blue slip case.. Anything interesting about it? Ink stamps,emblem on front, or a makers name etc.?

Hi it appears to be authentic. I just sold a Hitler signed presentation blue cover Mein Kampf for $9000, same as the one that CG just sold without signature/dedication for $29,000 at auction, cheers, Ryan

I don't think is has a chance to sell for 200 grand, even on Amazon.
