Description
This was an incredible find, buried in a stack of ETO printed maps/cards at a recent estate sale. The previous collector had encased everything behind plastic sheets on lightweight boardstock, and that's what you're seeing here.This is the scarce document provided to 29th Division men who landed on D-Day and fought to St Lo. These had the veterans name and ASN printed on the provided line, and were then signed by the Commanding General. This is an original 4-up printed sheet, with registration marks visible around the margins for ease of cutting to proper size. There is old water damage to the bottom edge and one side outside the margin of the documents, as well as some corner folding/bruising. There are no folds or creases to the documents themselves. Creases seen in photos are to the plastic, and not the paper itself. The lower left document has some yellow spots bottom center as seen, but the other 3 have no issues and are minty (a couple other yellow spots are just outside the margins). Paper is still white with bright graphics, some slight yellowing to the edge of the sheet. Paper measures 20" by 22.5". This would look fantastic framed with any 29th Division collection.
Will be shipped rolled as seen, with the lightweight boardstock to protect the paper. Insurance is a mandatory on this scarce item.
