who can tell me what is in the 1st edition like: dates on the certificate, color of the banknotes, date of letter box willy, date of adventure (last page?) [I have 2nd edition (from 1950 right?), which is set in 1941, and nevertheless no influence of 2nd WO noticeable]. and has that changed in 3rd edition?

I have the second, revised edition. The publisher has not stated a year. The front is the same as that of catawiki nr. 207857 .

But my copy is definitely not from 1950, because my father wrote his name in it with the date 6 Jan 1943.

The fact that WW2 is not noticeable in the book must have been because of the censorship measures at the time.

I think I have the same pressure as you, but the 1950 entry is incorrect.

Your questions:

data charter 1940-1941 (page 11)

banknotes: the tens are blue (page 13)

date letter Willy: 20 July '41 (page 29)

date of adventure: summer 1941 (page 152)

the response from cat2001 shows that the entry "1950" for the 2nd, Gewyz busy, seems uncertain, we will be the owner of 207857 just ask!

If you look in the history of this book, you will see that the importer had entered the details -circa 1950-. So he / she was not sure.

The KB dates him to about 1942 (and the 1st edition to 1928, which would explain the absence of war).

But since it is a Van Goor edition, it could be very simple. That publisher used its own coding from 1940 to 1970, at the bottom of the last text page. Are there numbers there by any chance?

K788 is the so-called Kennummer of the printer, Geuze and Co. in Dordrecht.

28073 is the code for the first edition of this book: Van Goor's 73rd edition in 1928.

42061 is the code for this edition: the 61st publication in 1942.

B.W. and C.B.D. numbers are unknown to me.

Thanks for the info, that's nice to know.

(and now I feel like reading that first edition, to see what is different)

That also seems interesting to me. Must have something to do with German censorship. Perhaps a reference to the royal family?

By the way, I read elsewhere on the internet that the second edition is an inserted page 112a and 112b. Can someone confirm that?

Indeed, after page 112 an inserted page 112a and 112b in a slightly different paper tone.

I never noticed, the story just continues.
