Gentlemen,
I am a fan of military maps and pick them up whereever I find them. Sometimes they are to be found in second-hand book stores, so in a non-militaria-related place. These 8 German military maps of Northern France I found on the Brussels flea market some years ago. The seller, an Arab guy, never opened them otherwise he would have noticed the 'parrot'. I stuffed them away in a box, but now I want to show them to others. I always wondered about the stamps on the maps. Brightly coloured in a kind of violet, some are very crisp and readable. They read 'Waffen-SS/SS-Panzerabteilung 2 Das Reich'. Could these be original markings?
Thanks for looking,
Lucius
