VMF-312 Posted July 14, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 14, 2011 I was browsing through Ebay and saw this today and was excited to see one of the silk maps at such a low price with out any bids, not to mention its great condition. I have met veterans that say these silk maps were lifesavers to the pre plastic era. Does anyone out there collect these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...=STRK:MESELX:IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted July 14, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 14, 2011 I have a few of those silk maps. One of the few areas in my collection that takes up so little space. As a matter of fact, that particular map on ebay is exactly the one that I have framed in my collection room. On it is the little island named Angaur which is south of Peleliu (upper right of the map) - both of which are part of the Palau Islands. My dad was stationed on Angaur for number of months from mid 1943 until mid 1944. 150th Quartermaster Truck Company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
