Attached is a good version from our collection. Our maps cataloger with German knowledge says the following:

Top 3 words in the seal: Reichsamt für Landesaufnahme = Reich Office for State Survey

Bottom word in the seal: Kartensammlung = map collection

Subject: Stamp on German Army WWII Map

Hello,

I am cataloging another WWII German Army Map, and am having trouble deciphering the words on a stamp on the map. I took a picture of it and uploaded it to my home page. You can find it at:

faculty.wiu.edu/LR-Zellmer/map_stamp.jpg

From what I can read, the stamp says Reichsamt für Landesaufnahme, but I cannot decipher the last word that starts with A. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Linda Zellmer
