【Condition Report】
Pre-owned vintage condition.
The chart was originally folded and retains visible fold creases throughout.
There is uneven age toning, scattered spotting and staining, including areas on the reverse, plus light edge wear consistent with age and storage.
No attempt has been made to flatten or restore the chart.
Please review all photographs carefully for the exact paper condition, markings, folds, staining, and edge wear.
【A Personal Note】
This is an interesting original period aeronautical chart for collectors of Korean War material, military aviation, cartography, Jeju / Cheju history, or Cold War-era mapping.
The February 1951 revision and printed RESTRICTED markings give it particularly strong period context.
No documented combat-use or individual military provenance is included, so the listing does not make any claim that this specific chart was carried or used operationally during combat.
You will receive the exact chart pictured.
One chart only. The Tongjoson Bay chart shown in the overview photo is not included.
【Shipping & Handling】
The chart will be shipped folded along its existing original folds to help avoid introducing new creases or stress to the paper.
