$50.00

This listing is for 2 cloth maps.For sale are reproduction fabric invasion/escape maps issued to paratroopers and aircrews flying missions over Europe during WW2. This map shows the coast of Northern France including Normandy and Cherbourg almost identical to the areas shown on the \"Zones of France\" map that was issued to paratroopers on dday.This map is printed on Satin Nylon fabric which looks and feels very similar to the original silk maps and makes for a comfortable scarf. These reproductions have an \"unfinished\" edge just like originals. If you look at the attached original picture of 1st Lt. Carl Macdowell on his C-47 before D-Day, you will see the unfinished edges of his map starting to fray. If you would like to prevent the edges of your map from fraying simply fold the edges and sew them down.Although these maps are not exact copies of the \"Zone of France\" map, they are a copy of another original map showing the same geographic area. These make great display pieces at a fraction of the cost of an original map and if you tie it as a scarf around your neck (as pictured) it looks almost identical to an original.This listing is for a reproduction map (see picture 1 in this this listing). Original map (see picture 2), on which this reproduction was produced is not included in this sale.Each map is approximately 18.75\"x24.5\"
