I see that no one has bought the 'Austin' item yet.
Had a look at other items offered by the same seller - for example, a fragment of Walter Scott's poetry written out by an L Lawson, who is said to be the famous Australian poet of that name, and a famous sonnet by Wordsworth (with a strange title) in long hand with his name and a date at the end. If this latter item were by Wordsworth's hand then it would be worth a lot more than the asking price? Would you buy either without comparing the handwriting? As usual, Caveat Emptor.
