This is an original Japanese STB printed for the first Japanese release of Franco Giraldi’s Seven Guns for the MacGregors starring Robert Woods and Fernando Sancho.

Translations of on‑poster Japanese (highlights):
-
Main title (large red calligraphy): 「禿鷹のえさ」.
-
Right vertical teaser (abridged): Seven gunman brothers ride into a town of death.

Design notes:
The top block frames a close‑quarters gunfight; the lower action montage (rider rears, water‑splash stunt) sits under the slashing calligraphic title—classic late‑’60s Japanese design for imported Westerns.
Condition: Excellent
