Peter visited me yesterday with the second Nelson gun. He also brought the original and his portfolio which included my original drawings, working drawings and rubbings.
The last time I saw these was in 1986! I just thought that forum members might be interested in seeing some of the process that goes into engraving a gun.

Just stunning.

I'm assuming that this is part of the gun's display - that's a wonderful idea, allowing people to fully appreciate the treasure they're looking at.

That is a wonderful honor and achievement to have your layout and designs matted and framed by Peter Nelson. Thank-you for sharing and thank-you for making this such an interesting and exciting forum. There's nothing more wonderful than a perfect illustration of the exciting battles between the old "ships of the line" on the high seas. I can just hear the cannon and smell the acrid smoke as it engulfs the frenzy!!!
