    Thanks again Bob, i’d Never thought of looking at the keel. I’ll take the ribbons off and get the magnifying glass out and scour the keel area. Box is 1/2 hardwood on three sides, top unscrews and the glass slides out maybe I can gently see if it comes out of the slot it’s in.

    Hey Bob, many many thanks for your great reply, way beyond what I’d ever expected, I was more expecting a one line yep it ight be old but I never would have thought it was possibly as old as civil. War and maybe even by a sailor wow wish I could prove that. I bought it about 12 years ago at an auction in Massachusetts when we lived there, it came in a glass case hence the condition I suppose. I’d Like to take it out of the case just once to look for any clues as to its origin and photograph all sides to track its condition. Once again thank you so much I’m so glad you guys have such a passion for this subject I find model ships fascinating when they are very detailed you can’t help filling each line of rigging from source to end, I guess reading all the Patrick OBrian novels nudged towards buying this ship in the first place ⚓️ I’m attaching a couple more pics

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
