The year 2005 celebrates the 200th anniversary of the great battle known as The Battle of Trafalgar. This item is one of many fabulous pieces available from TRAVELLERS IN TIME celebrating that 200th anniversary. Some of the pieces are directly linked to the Napoleonic period or to the famous flagship of Lord Horatio Nelson himself ‘HMS VICTORY’. Some other pieces listed are indirectly linked as souvenir items of Lord Nelson, the battle, his ship or the antiquities of the time.
This item is an original old brown mess musket flint from the early 1800's. It was located from the shipwreck of the old East India Company vessel ‘The Earl of Abergavenny’.
This old ship tragically sank in Weymouth Bay off the Dorset coast, England on the 5th February 1805. The musket flint is original and in a good condition. Full details of the vessel and authentication of the musket flint accompany the item.
