It really is an engraving of the "Apostle" , but not the first edition. As you know, all reprints Fedorov "Apostle" was from the original boards of the great printer. I think this is one of the later editions of the late 18th century. To be more precise, to do chemical analysis of the paper, but most likely it will be more expensive chemical analysis of most prints. You can roughly determine so. Just count the number of Vergere (" stripes ", as you call them ) to see one I think , the offer of $ 30 for this " rarity " simply royal . In fact - not worth anything .
