We have never auctioned it before! Often, with major movies, there are Danish re-releases that are unmarked, so they can be confused with originals, but there is no chance that this is not the first release 1947 Danish poster, both because it has a dated Danish censor stamp in the top left, and because it has the RKO logo at bottom left. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. The poster has partial extra folds at a slight diagonal to some of the regular ones. There are pinholes in the corners. The poster could absolutely be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one could choose to have the above defects corrected through linenbacking. Either way, the new owner will have a great poster to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
