Mein Kampf set in lead type
Hello all,
Recently I ran into someone who showed me a block of lead type and claimed it was a page from Mein Kampf. I cannot read German, so I have no idea what it read. However, I read online that all the lead type to Mein Kampf was melted down after the war so a democratic newspaper could be printed. Could it be possible that some did not get destroyed and this persons claim is valid?

It looks as though someone may have already tried that.
There is some ink staining on the wrapping paper.
I would think there were many different editions published,
and it would be interesting to try and match it up to an
original book, or just roll some ink on and press it
to a sheet of paper to see if it actually is a page
from Mein Kampf !

The 'title page' would be nice !
I know there was a photo of Hitler at the beginning of each of these books,
but it would require colour separation - one of those would be great too !
Can you actually make a printing block from hot lead ! ? !
Or would you use existing type and set it yourself ?

Yes.
That is why I don't believe in the authenticity of most documents.
So easy to do.
