Like many things on ebay, this has been misdescribed by the vendor in order to hoist the price up. It cannot be pre-war with West Ruislip on it, can it now. It also seems that an update plate has been removed from where the line interchange symbols are, and it would be worth more had that been left on (perhaps it is intended that it should be sold separately to get even more money). I deal in collectors items and this is double the real price of its true worth. £200 is the absolute tops for this. If I were registered with ebay (which l am not), I would report this blatant misdescription to them.

I'm a bit rusty with E-Bay being years since I used it, but isn't there somewhere you can ask the seller a question? If so, it might be worth a mention as it could be a genuine error having been sold to him/her as pre-war....

He might have removed the plate including jubilee and vctoria line interchanges, but looking at the blob for Green Park, it seems disks for both are still on the actual diagram.

It's not actually advertised as pre war if you read the advert.

The title and description were altered at 11:26 this morning. But not the price, I imagine!  |

And the description is still wrong, as Epping is missing not fior the reason stated, but simply because yo can't get there directly from platform 3 at Hainault (or indeed any other) |

This WAS offered as pre-war.
and also as "vintage" whatever that means in this case.
The ad has been changed and the price reduced to a more realistic level
A possibility exists that this might still be L.T./LU property. I wonder, Does the vendor have proof of title??
It would be worth the current asking price had the alteration plate not been removed, leaving holes and rust marks. This is a situation where the two items together are worth more than the two items separated.
