For part of my birthday this weekend and my wife gave me an early present.  It is an silk escape map that the OS used to smuggle to POW's.  It is printed on both sides, this one covers Vienna-Krakow and Budapest regions.  It is an original print but never issued, hence the perfect condition.

I thought I may be getting some Nazi occupation coins but the wife went for the map instead, it was not cheap so she could not get both.

I spent the day with my wife and son, saw the in-laws a bit also; but most of the day was spent on the boat out in the bay.  We also docked and had some good TexMex food on the boardwalk (I love good grilled fish tacos!).
