    Hi!

    I’m a Japanese fan of Raffles!
    And I’m seeking magazins whitch containing Mr.Justice Raffles (both issues in UK and US)!

    And I also seeking a script titled A Visit Raffles by Hornung and Sansom…(I heard that there is a document about the play in British Liblaly – in a someone’s collection )

    If sombody can take photocpies of them, I can send many documents about our Raffles…(EX : old French magazins whitch contained Mr.Justice Raffles with original french illustrations , French transration of The Amateur Cracksman with original french illustrations, many photoes of film versions of Raffles, postcard sized reproductions of movie posters, lobby cards, flyers..French novelization of the film called The Return of Raffles with many photos of the movie and photocpy of the sheet music about the title tune of the movie etc…etc…).

    Because I have many things about Raffles (over 100 items), but I’ve never seen befor the document I mentioned abobe!

    So If there is someone who can give me any informations about them or exchange materials or informations about our A.J.Raffles!

    I hope to hear from somebody who can do this….
