    Thanks, Trevor. I'm super grateful for all of this information. I remember playing with this model when I was about five years old 57 now). I used to put little plastic soldiers on the deck (carefully, thank goodness!) and play for hours. It's lovely finally to be able to find out something about it - even if it seems impossible to date the build. Thank you.

    Amazing, Johnny. Thanks for the suggestion. Given my total lack of experience in this, I think I'll avoid taking any of that on. But I also think this could be an antique so would prefer to keep it original - even if there is some deterioration. I'll just clean it carefully as a first step and take things from there.

    Hi Trevor, So grateful for your observations, insight and analysis. It's super interesting and very helpful. Here are some images of the flags, which I should have included in my original post, of course!

    Thanks, Bob. Yes, I did all of that before posting here. Found that it was most likely an East India Company ship etc. a "grab". I was wondering whether the pictures left any clues as to how old this particular model was. I always assumed it was an antique (my father was an antiques dealer) but perhaps it's not that old. Anyway, thanks for your help. It's a great forum.

    Hi all. Thanks for this excellent and informative forum as I work my way through the content. Fascinating. I was led here by something that my father bought when he was an antiques dealer in London in the 1970s, and which is now mine. I'm not looking for a valuation since it's value to me has nothing to do with money. But I would appreciate any pointers as to its age etc. I'm afraid it's very dusty and the rigging is starting to suffer a little - issues I'll fix very soon. Again, any history or information would be much appreciated. Thank you.
