$3,200 · HMS Victory - Museum grade model

Large hand build model of Admiral Nelson's flagship. Launched in 1765, she carried over 850 men and mounted 104 guns. It took 6,000 oak trees to build her and the hull was so well constructed that enemy cannon balls commonly bounced off without doing any damage. This model was built by the late Otto Friedel ( Vancouver Jeweler/watchmaker). The craftsmanship and attention to detail is breath taking. Thousands of hours went into its creation. Must see to appreciate. Reasonable offers considered.
