The last Sefer Avnie Shoam was printed right in the begining of WWII in Poland and therefore got lost and never made it into the market, till this year when the Grandchildren reprinted it, and its now available online:

This is the 1st time I see a picture of a Rav on his own Matzeivoh. Do you have a close up the picture? Do you also have a picture of the full stone?
