In his privately published census, Larry Lyons records a total of 26 copies. Of these five are on one document and one is on another, leaving 20 copies not on documents. At least 13 of the 20 have faults, leaving only seven sound or potentially sound copies, most of which have similar centering to the one offered here.
With 2008 P.S.E. certificate (VG 50; unpriced in SMQ). This is the first off document we have offered since before 1995.
