Recently I have seen seen several listings for a Godzilla (1954) 8mm film on Ebay. I have found a archive of the exact film at mykaiju.com

I have also found on the Godzilla 1954 page on this wiki contains this


"Toho 4K Ultra HD / Blu-ray (October 25, 2023)[33]

   Region: N/A (4K Ultra HD) or A (Blu-ray)
   Discs: 1

   Subtitles: Japanese
   Special features: Audio commentary by Akira Takarada, Akira Ifukube interview, "The Oxygen Destroyer", unused footage, Japanese trailer, export trailer, textless trailer, Godzilla, King of the Monsters! trailer, Japanese Godzilla, King of the Monsters! trailer, score performed by a live orchestra, large stills gallery, 1970 15-minute 8mm cut of the film
   Notes: Includes the cropped Japanese version of Godzilla, King of the Monsters!. Uses the 4K scan and restoration of the Japanese version of the film conducted by Tokyo Laboratory in 2014 with an ARRISCAN."

I have also found a image of the 8mm title on this wiki as well. here: https://wikizilla.org/w/images/6/68/G%2754_8mm_title_card.png

Listings on Ebay said they were found in attics from 40 years ago and others say they were given out at Godzilla Minus one. I need help to find the origin or even track down a fair priced copy. Thank you!
