a 92 year old former naval

ficer, this World War II era chart is original and NOT a reprint.

Measurements are approximately 27 3/4” wide by 21 1/2” tall
Condition is very good – especially for its age.
Note it has a fold in the center.
It will be shipped rolled up.
There is some minor discoloration mostly along the edges.
Please see the photos to judge the condition yourself.
Handwritten on the back is “Conse 262” (which I believe is the sequence #) , “and “H.0. 2054” (which matches the number on the front).
2054 is also stamped on the back in purple.
This information was probably written on the back so people would not need to unfold the chart to determine the location.
Fast shipping!
