It isn't damaged to the extent it needs repair or extensive covering, so I'm weighing whether to cover the damage or display it. The former will make it a nice wall piece that appeals to many, the latter would probably only appeal to people who like authenticity in maps when possible. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, if you take a look at the attached this was a salvage piece I redid to cover the damage, so you don't see any patina.
