Important Added Info: Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases. Also note that this auction also includes the envelope this item originally came with! Finally, note that these posters were never folded! Condition: very good. There are tax stamps at upper right in each of the posters. There are some scuffs and creases scattered throughout the poster and there are a few pin holes around the edges.
