I'm tempted to give it a try.

Rob,

Difficult to tell from the file sizes stipulated. It would be a lot more helpful if the vendor stated what resolution the map has been scanned at. I tend to scan at 1200 dpi, giving a file size for an A4 area of c. 60 to 80 MB (depending on levels of detail in the survey). I estimate that would give a file size for all six sheets of a whopping 2.8 GB. However, I'm sure scans at 800 dpi would suffice.
At R425 I would say it's probably worth a go.

Well, I am now the proud owner of Jeppe's map as well as several other maps of the Boer republics!
If anyone would like a copy of these maps, fell free to send me a message.

Those images look wonderful Rob. I am pleased that you bought them.

Sturgy, Rory:
I've sent you the maps by WeTransfer; they should be with you now.

Perhaps ignorance on my part but I have not received anything from you?
