WW2 British Map from the "RUSSIA" Series (NOT TO BE PUBLISHED) Baltic Sea etc

Description: Original WW2 British War Office map from the "RUSSIA" series which covers an area of the former Soviet Union that is now divided between Latvia and Estonia. It also features Finland, Sweden, the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Riga etc. Bears an ink stamp in the top margin which reads "P.A.D. BLACK PULL" which I believe may refer to the updating and reproduction methods of the map. (It's one of sixty "RUSSIA" sheets I have which appear to have come from the same official wartime archive. Many are ink stamped by the "Survey Directorate, GHQ Middle East", and several are updated versions of the same sheets, suggesting that they formed part of an ongoing process.) From a large collection recently sold off by Edinburgh University - hence ink stamping to margin. (Following both World Wars, the government distributed excess stocks of Allied maps to various national institutions such as libraries, museums, universities etc.) In good condition with a small repair to what could have been a 'staple rip' where the 'P.A.D.' stamp is. This has been carefully carried out using a specialist acid free (non-yellowing) archive conservation tape of the kind used by museums. Please see my other WW2 (and WW1) maps, documents, photos etc... Sales to destinations outside the UK will be handled by eBay's GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAMME (GSP) which calculates its own shipping rates and does not routinely combine shipping. Therefore, it is not possible for me to independently invoice buyers for items purchased through the GSP. This is governed by eBay's own policies and automated systems and is therefore completely beyond my control. (Please enquire before purchasing if you wish to investigate alternative and more favourable arrangements - such as setting up a separate listing for multiple items.) PLEASE NOTE - Following BREXIT, items exported from the UK to EU countries now incur import tariffs on arrival. With a few exceptions, this process is administered by eBay on behalf of the destination country. Seller's Ref - U753
