[QUOTE="Snowman Cometh, post: 9578847, member: 83302"]The auction house described it as unknown origin. I think they said 1964 Italian edition? Which is probably why I was the only bidder. The Fields book describes my set 100% as a German edition, including the watermarks, except for the binders they're in. However, it does mention some sets from various countries being put in special leather binders. I could be wrong, about this. I read the Fields description years ago. But, I think the leather binders were presents and not sold to the general public. I only saw one set online in leather binders, and it doesn't resemble mine at all. It was much fancier. What matters is the art. That's magnificent. It's always nice to know what the history might be. Reading the Fields description there are many more copies than most people think.[/QUOTE]
