Superb Genuine Large Royal Navy HMS Queen Elizabeth 15” Gun Tampion c.1914-48.
HMS Queen Elizabeth was the lead ship of her class of five dreadnought battleships built for the RN, commissioned in 1914.
She
served in WW1 as part of the Grand Fleet, and participated in Dardanelles, with the rest of her service during the war generally consisted of routine patrols and training in the North Sea. She was extremely busy during the interwar period, attending 2 fleet reviews, the Abyssinia Crisis and Spanish Civil War, acting as a blockade.
Queen Elizabeth later served admirably in several theatres during the Second World War, and was finally scrapped in 1948.
This large heavy cast metal tampion, because of it size, can only be off one of her main 4 twin 15” guns, it’s in good used condition with twin large screw mountings to the rear and is now displayed on a 12” circular piece of chamfered English oak.
The last one of these I witnessed going through auction fetched £2000 plus fees!
£1250
