Default WW1 Western Front Map 1928

I bought the nicely framed map in the attached pictures at an Antique Fair today for £10.

Measuring 20" x 20" the map has Prepared by the Historical Section of the Committee of Imperial Defence and Ordnance Survey 1928 along the bottom edge.

It really dosnt matter but I would be interested to know if this is a period piece ( which it looks like to me ), or if these maps have been reproduced ?

Opinions appreciated

Thanks

P.B.

There definitely are reproductions out there. Some of them obvious, made for modern interest, others made by fakers to deceive collectors.

Thanks Phil,

At £10 ( the framing would have cost considerably more ) I am happy with it.

Peter
