About the Item

WWII-Era British Royal Navy Bronze Ship’s Bell, George VI Cipher, circa 1940s A distinguished and substantial British Royal Navy bronze ship’s bell, dating from the Second World War period. Cast with the regal cipher "GR VI" under a crown, representing the reign of King George VI (1936–1952). Featuring its original heavy iron yoke fitting, internal iron clapper, and traditional rope pull with a turned wooden handle. The bell exhibits a pleasingly aged bronze patina, characteristic maritime oxidation, and wear from authentic naval use. It produces a clear, resonant ring, indicative of fine craftsmanship. An excellent and evocative addition for collectors of maritime history and militaria. Dimensions: Height (including mount): 10.25 inches (26 cm) Diameter: 9.65 inches (24.5 cm) Condition: Good original vintage condition, retaining structural integrity and authentic maritime patina.
