Just a quick note, I have been told there were two Admiral Nelsons, one of them Admiral Lord Nelson and the other later in date not a lord. There are also a lot of Admiral Nelson pubs in the UK.

Very nice example, and with the leather frog an'all! Hard to conceive now but "back-in-the-day" a lot of stuff now collectable was seen as having little or no value at all. Bayonets used as fire...
