I finally got him to ship it to me. Total was $160 and it was well worth it. These are pretty rare and I have no idea what one would go for in an auction. As far as I know, my pics are the only ones of an Austrian Masterpiece on the net. It had a nice layer of surface rust but cleaned up rather well with only some minor pitting in a few areas. Here's my Photobucket album.

There's a copy of Armi Bianche Italiane on eBay, currently at 480 Euros: http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&...:MESELX:IT Bidding ends soon.

Hi Gabriele,

Funny you should mention that ... I actually wondered about posting the link knowing that Chad had one for sale here! :lol:

However, like Chad, I thought folks here might like to know about it - the poster had listed it on two other forums, but not this one ... I was just trying to do MyA forumites a service - just like Chad does in tracking down extra copies of rare books for all of us (hint: buy his books, people, so he keeps doing it!).

BTW, the eBay copy didn't sell, so perhaps will be relisted at a lower price, or the seller might be open to offers?

Hi Chad,

Thanks for that ... I'm in a different time zone, and had only seen the Italian page, so had mistakenly assumed it had finished. Anyway, it did finish with no bids; for those who are interested, here's the re-listed English page: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem...0419278779

Ah, sorry about that. I can understand the reasons why that might pose a concern. Please accept my apologies.
