Hello - I've been a lurker for years, mainly picking up reloading tips for rifle and handgun on this site. I have a framed map of Africa from the Rand McNally Atlas of 1895 which I would like to sell. Before posting it in the classified section I thought that the guys most likely to be interested in this piece would be those of you who have these incredible trophy rooms.

So that I don't take up any more space here than a newbie deserves I'd like to let it be known that if anyone here is interested in this great old map, they are welcome to PM me and request an e-mail address. I can send quality photographs using simple e-mail attachments and avoid the complications of photobucket here. This old map is really something: excellent shape, still vivid colors, and the history ... well, this map drips history. I bought this map when I was first reading about Selous and several of the other great old hunters of Africa back in the day. 1895 was the era of "Kongo Free State" and so much that is gone today on that continent. So, if this intrigues you please feel welcome to send me a PM and we'll talk some more. Thank you for your time. - DixieBoyfromLevergunners

PM sent.

I'll take it, PM sent.

Can't believe I missed this. If anything falls through, not that I think it will, shoot me A pm.

Guys, one of your members, William Rounds, was the second one to send me a PM about the map, and the first one to say "I'll take it."

I thank you all for your interest. I may never get to Africa myself but reading about alot of your adventures is pretty great stuff too.

Thank you again. - DixieBoyfromLevergunners

I'd sure love to see a photo of the map. Just for curiosity sake.

Guess I missed that one. I requested a photo but never got it. Can I see one now.

I did buy it, but offered the map to my brother as a birthday gift so haven't seen it yet myself. DixieBoy did send a couple of pics to me though:

Neat map, Wink.
