Hello Swabbies - Did you miss me? I have been traveling the Seven Seas, the South Sea, the North Sea and of course the Sargasso Sea!!
Well Pollywogs it was a interesting trip of course being with Commodore Wilkes on his South Seas Expedition. Well in looking back in 2022 you shellbacks were so fortunate!! Here we have a super rare wood pair of British Submarine Recognition Models made for the Royal Navy!! One is marked Regent and other R. Yikes these are rare models.It is painted grey with alot of detail in painting to the pair of models- for locating this model you can go from Kiel to Helogoland or from Jutland to the Dardenelles and never ever see another pair of these models. They are extremely rare to see in any condition. One is marked on conning tower "Regent" - It measures 11 inches long and it is 1 3/8 inches wide. This one is also marked on the base stamped in black- Banton or Shanton- Sea Line?
The other model has no marking on the conning tower- it is marked on the base R. Preston and is 11 inches long and 1 3/8 inch wide. Yes the "Blitz" and V-1 Rockets are still having an effect in London and all over the British Isle! OK mate thanks for making it to the end of this description- if you have any question lets have a palaver!!Swahili, Talog and of course the Kings English!
