Sure thing, Dave.
Better to err on the side of caution, when this kind of asking price
is involved. All may not be as it seems.

The point about more research should have been done - I'll let the
seller know, or feel free to log on to BIDLL and drop the seller a
note just as you would on eBay, the seller would appreciate the
advice.

* The bidll copy also has the same text at the top (as the 50RR),
wherein "A LONDON FILMS PRODUCTION" has been omitted before Korda
and Selznick's name.
* The bidll copy is missing the London Films logo in the lower
right (as is also missing from the 50s RR).
* "Distributed by Lion International Films" is present on the
bidll copy and 50s RR copy, lower left corner, and is present at
all on the '49 copy.
* And when one looks closely at the artwork (the details on the
man, and the orange cityscape behind, the large cloud in the sky)
the artwork is NOT identical; but 2 lightly different versions-
shading, detail, placements of shadows, etc.
* And lastly, the placement of the printer's info, lower right
border is not printed in the exact same location as on the 49 copy
(it is shifted more to the left, beginning under the first leg of
the N of MAN, along with the bidll copy also having the added "and
London" after the name of NOTTINGHAM.
Too many variations... and even if done for colonies, why would
all of the above being missing/different/changed? It's a different
piece entirely than the known HA '49 copy.
More research should be done on this before calling it a "for
certain" '49 original release OS, one would think.
'Tis curious indeed.

I guess the question for someone more knowledgeable on the Brit
stuff is why is there (on the HA '49) a British Censor's stamp on
a poster that was never designed to be used in the UK - as I
understand it 1shts and 3shts were printed for the colonies not
used in the UK, so no reason to print UK data on it is there?
Anyone?

Geez fellas ... looks like a hybrid (in a 10 second comparison).
Logos at bottom left / right on HA's '49 example are on neither
of the other examples, however, the overall colors appear
similar to bidll example and HA '49.

Isn't this the early 1950's re-release?
I thought the original release had a black background and also
had more color.
I know the last time Heritage sold this poster which was five
years ago, they listed it as an early 1950's re-release and it
sold for $900.
