Hello I am trying to find a map that's like this, would you happen to have the name of the manufacturer of this puzzle? The most common ones are eurographic and pomegranate, but they have different colour tones, I am wondering what's yours? Thanks

Hello :-)
Unfortunately I didn't wrote down the manufacturer and it's been a while since I assembled this map, but in 2009 I just knew and assembled jigsaw puzzles made by manufacturers like Ravensburger, Schmidt or MB.

I added some more pictures for you to show the beauty of this card.

Thank you very much and best regards
Lia
