Shisha Sidrei Mishna the Lewmberg 1869-1876 edition, with the handwritten signature of the famed holy Rav Rabbi Elisha of Gorlitz, the son and successor of Rabbi Baruch of Gorlitz, the son of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz. 

Of the complete set, one volume is with his handwritten signature and stamp and another is with the stamp of his Beis Midrash in Gorlitz. Additional volumes are not signed.  The set is the complete one which was used and owned by the holy Rav of Gorlitz; however, as stated, only one volume was signed by him and with his stamp. 

His handwritten signature and stamps appear in Seder Taharot: 

On the first title page, a notation:  ‘זה המשניות טהרת שייך להרה"צ מרן שליט"א האבד"ק דפה מרן שליט"א’ apparently handwritten by a family member. 

On the second title page, his stamp: ‘אלישע הלברשטאם אבד"ק גארליץ והגליל’. On the last leaf, the leaf of the indices of the chapters of the Mishna, a handwritten correction, possibly by him.  Some additional corrections in the other volumes of the set. 

The holy Gaon Rabbi Elisha Halberstam of Gorlitz [1860-1941] one of the greatest Tzaddikim of his generation, the beloved son and successor of his father the holy Rav Rabbi Baruch of Gorlitz and grandson of Maran the Divrei Chaim of Sanz who was born in his lifetime. Passed away on Leil Haseder in the midst of the Holocaust.
