My grandfather was in Germany before the war and bought a copy, later meeting the author and getting it signed.
When the war broke out he returned to the UK and fought until 1946 in the far east, too scared to show anyone his souvenir in case they thought he was a spy!
He finally showed me the book the other day, with the signature sprawled across the front page, and a chill ran down my spine! He even has a corroborating photograph of him shaking hands with the young author, book open in his hand.
I have no intention of selling the item, but just wondered if you think it might have any worth?
Thanks!

I'm sure certain subcultures would pay a great deal to own that particular copy.

His autograph is worth about 1300 to 1700. A first edition of Mein Kanpf is worth about 11,000 to 13,000. I could not find a signed Mein Kampf listed anywhere . If it is real it would be much more valuable than the two prices combined as it appears to be truly rare.

If the book is the first edition and the photo came with it then it would be worth anything up to a million pound, however would you want the money knowing where it came from.

If it's the real thing and signed by Adolf Hitler you're in luck - his autographs are worth more then John Lennons at the moment - it would be worth a lot of money.

The material value of anything depends on how much it is wanted and by whom. I would guess into 5 figures.

I'm no expert but I would have thought it would be worth between £2,000 and £3,500.
You need to get it valued by an expert for insurance purposes.

A tidy sum...
