In my research I have read that he and his models were/are possibly well known. I have contacted through email a few places that Mr Nagels models have been shown. This model spent most of (if not all) of its live in a maritime history museum in Sarasota Fl. It that the sister ship, the USS Tallapoosa 1864, by Mr Nagel also, resides at the Mariners Museum, Newport News, VA. I only found 2 other models of Mr Nagels for sale online.

There are a few small condition issues I will show in the photos. On the starboard side there is a spot where the paint has been chipped I think. And on both sides, at the front where the model rests in the stand, it has rubber in the paint. There is no way on earth that I will try to clean or wash or do anything to this model. I will leave that choice up to whomever purchases it. Other than that the model is amazing.

It was in a very cheap plexi case. The base is fine but the cover was broken. Obviously not while it was over the model.

An issue will be shipping as I have no idea how to ship something this delicate so I will have to leave shipping details and arrangements to the purchase. Pick up in person is by far the best option.

Purchase price is $2000 USDIMG_9987.jpegIMG_0003.jpeg

Thanks you
