This is a bust of Lord Nelson mounted on a pedestal made from wood which came from the undercarriage of a cannon on Lord Nelson’s flagship, the Victory. Lord Nelson died on the Victory in 1805 after he was shot by a French sharpshooter in the mast of a French ship engaged in battle with Nelson’s flagship at Trafalgar, and it is also a boxing trophy that is engraved with a sterling silver band near the base of the bust. The band reads “Empire Memorial Boxing Trophy 1948-1953 Competed For Annually”, with five sterling silver panels that have British sterling hallmarks on them. The bust itself reads “Nelson” under his chest, with “Presented By British Sailor Society” on the left side panel and “Made Of Copper From Nelson’s Flagships” on the other side, and “Victory Oak” on the wooden base of the bust. The bust measures 11 1/8 in. tall from the bottom of the base to the crown of Lord Nelson’s head, and the round base has a 4 in. diameter, and a unique piece of Nelson memorabilia. Size:5 1/2 x 4 1/4 x 11 in.
