From reading available resources on internet, seems this is variant of 3rd impression without Allen and Unwin device. Thank you in advance for any advice this forum can provide.

Back cover photo is v shaped.
Front cover brown ink.
P. 424 (pictured below) blank (has some pencil marks

Welcome to the site.

I’ve just had a quick glance at some of my US FoTR firsts, and yes I would agree, based on your images provided.

Can you snap a pic of pages 29-30?
