HMS VICTORY
This is something very, very special. This pen is actually made using Oak from Admiral Lord Nelson's ship: HMS Victory. This is the ship Nelson was aboard during the battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
I believe this to be very Special and managed to get the wood

Excellent Glen, I’m sure there will be interest there. I myself have boarded Her twice, what a magnificent ship She is, and still in commission. :drool::drool::thumbs:

That is a wonderful opportunity to have a piece of that ship to turn. This past summer I read a biography of Admiral Nelson. Us Yanks only get a small flavor of the escapades that Nelson and Napolean and their fleets engaged in. I got a greater appreciation for that period in world history.

Wonderful pen to have.
