We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning, and it has a completely different image from the style A poster with a different tagline! Condition: poor. There is very unfortunate large paper loss in Richard Dix's forehead and hair (see our image). It extends slightly into his ear, eyebrow, and cheek and there is a tear running through his eye and another running into his cheek. Otherwise the poster has enlarged pinholes in the corners. Obviously a talented restorer can replace the paper loss (and it is fortunate that it is primarily in his forehead and hair), but it will not be an easy restoration, so please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept this very significant defect.
