Summary
Painted and enamelled brass gun tampion, ex-HMS Royal Sovereign. The Royal Sovereign was loaned to the USSR in World War II and was returned in 1949. They had stripped the outside but the guns had been well looked after, including everything with a royal crest on. This is one of eight tampions.
