Condition Report
Further to the catalogue description, this item will date closely to the action. Overall condition is fine. Whilst other examples of gold anchors have been seen for this and other Napoleonic actions, the design varies and, personally, I have never seen another example which conforms closely to this. The others are often pressed and enamelled, of a fouled anchor design, or are simply plain with inscription. Hitherto, I have handled three or four other gold anchors in the last fifteen years.
