ok so I went back
and looked at the listing again -I had really only concentrated on what the seller called a signature. Few other things seem a bit strange to me in going back. The owner only made a few notes (apparently inside the front cover) and they were in no way connected to the plethora of sets he would have been interested in. No notes were made on the inside pages (at least not from the scans) what would presumably be a working copy. Unless he was in love with himself and where he was in his life - someone else wrote that name on the last page. Whether he owned it or not at any point I would suppose is still up in the air. Unless the good doctor can attest that he received it from Bray - or the handwriting can be closely identified with his known handwriting - each step beyond that increases "the leap of faith". I have no problem believing what he might say - as long as there's clarity as to exactly what the contention is......
