AN EARLY 19TH CENTURY FRENCH NAPOLEONIC PRISONER-OF-WAR WOOD AND BONE SHIP MODEL FOR A 74-GUN FRIGATE

unrigged, the 10in. planked and pinned hull with removable deck revealing sprung mechanism to operate broadside from stern cords, carved headrail and stove pipe (missing figurehead and quarter lights), mounted on two turned bone supports to wooden base with carved bone trim, contained within later plexiglass case -- 7 x 15 x 7 (18 x 38 x 18cm.)

This interesting model lacks chain-plates and mast steps and so is presumed to have been left unrigged for some reason.
