I saw one similar to this on an online auction – in much better shape and a slightly different title font – for which bidding started at $300, and it sold for
just over $425. Condition, however, drops the potential value very quickly.

Subject: World War One battlefield map
Hello,
I have a patron who found this World War One battlefield map in the bottom of a box of stuff he bought at a garage sale. He would like to know if it is rare and/or
valuable. The base map is “Carte de France 1:600,000.” Do any of you have similar maps in your collections, or have knowledge of its value / rarity?
Thanks,
Jim
