OK, thanks. I erased it from my search list.
Chrysanthemums for a Bunch of Swine (1968)
I have heard that no one knows where a copy of this film can be found . . . all the prints were lost or destroyed?
No one seems to have a copy of this one, have a look here:

Nobody knows.
Maybe there are still 35 mm prints somewhere in Italy
To sum up: the usual Vamos a matar Sartana, the seemingly unobtainable Chrysanthemums for a Bunch of Swine, the phantasmic The Ghosts of Omah-Ri (but there’s someone who swears to have seen it in the Eighties…) and A Gallows for Three Cowards, the most mysterious of all, with black and white production stills available but despite that totally unidentified cast!
la leggenda di tara pokì - This is from 1971, and I can’t find much about it.
A little bit poki:
There’s also a database entry.

Not only it was completed, it was also recovered and shown in November 2015 in Rome in the presence of Marco Giusti and the director Amasi Damiani.
Omah-Ri Ghosts was submitted to Italian censorship in December 1976 - with a few scenes added unbeknownst to Damiani - under the equally bizarre title L’unghiata del gigante (The Giant’s Claw Mark), verified film length 2310 meters equivalent to 84 minutes.
That’s all I know. Can someone put it on YouTube? It would be greatly appreciated!
I remain hopeful and reiterate my request!

Chrysanthemums for a Bunch of Swine might actually be worth a viewing, since it looks like a decent enough movie, the rest appears to be unadulterated trash though. I mean I could see myself viewing Vamos a matar Sartana for masochistic purposes during some Spagvemberfest (that Fidani theme sounds very tantalizing in a perverse way), but other than that, I can hardly imagine somebody losing their sleep over not having seen The Ghosts of Omah-Ri or something along those lines. I have to confess I haven’t heard of A Scaffold for Three Cowards until now. Also, I don’t think The Ghosts of Omah-Ri even has an IMDb listing.
Too bad that Vamos a matar Sartana dvd never surfaced that was planned some 15 years ago or so. But at least there should be english print available so maybe one day.
I hope so. I am familiar with the poster artwork. It really struck a cord with me. I know nothing of the actual plot though!
All of them!
Does the winner get a Blu release?
Of course, on 4K Ultra HD format!
Naushad has (had?) this print, right?
Yep.
Doesn’t seem all that improbable after Django’s Cut Price Corpses’s Blu-ray release. I wish Tarantino would make yet another spag-inspired western so that we could get another wave of Blu-ray releases of shitty spags with taglines in the likes of “this movie inspired Tarantino!”.
