Hi,
I got today in a local antique centre a copy of sheet 43A, it has france on one side and on the other has France and Spain and the Pyrenees, and also the German frontier, it is in good condition, just marks from folding, another new collecting field for me, I paid £28 for it, is this a fair price ?, I was happy to pay this for what I considered a great collectable and am very happy to have got it, your expert opinion would be much appreciated,
kind regards,
John.

£28 is a good price (depending on condition), these are going for £50-£60+ now

Sorry to add another post so soon after my last, thought you may be able to tell me more about this item, I think it is a blood chit, It came
with a ww2 Burma star group to a local RAF man, not seen any version like this before, it is on very delicate paper,
cheers,
John.
This is not a blood chit but a leaflet dropped by the allies to the Japanese encouraging them to surrender. Many were dropped by both sides (Allied and Axis) on all fronts during the war.
This is a very good link - http://www.psywar.org/leaflets.php
