    I am a long time collector of antique Maps of China and Asia and have a large number of maps that I will be bringing up for sale. I also will have a limited number of maps for sale from other regions including North America, South and Central America, Middle East and Europe.
    All maps have come from my own private collection -
    I do not sell any copies or reproductions at all.
    A Certificate of Authenticity can be issued, on request for any  maps bought.
    I will always combine shipping to save you money on postage. If you buy more than one map, you only pay once for postage.
    I am also a member of the International Map Collectors Society (IMCOS)
    Save my site as a favourite and keep on the lookout for future sales.
