beethoven's fifth

[ppp203]

Hello all-
Does anyone know where I can obtain a facsimile of the original manuscript of Beethoven's 5th symphony? I need to check on some dynamic markings in my part and I want to know if it is a copyist error or if Beethoven really meant for this marking to be where it is. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

If you cannot find the originals you may want to compare different editions of the score which should be available in public or university libraries.

Since a couple of years (since 2003 IIRC) this very impressive facsimile of the authgraph score is available (if you've got the money ):
