Hello I need your help to find HMS Victory cathead Half crown for the Mamoli HMS Victory. THe size of the cathead is 4.5mm x 4.5 mm. Can you please tell me from where I can buy the Half crown?
Many thanks
joe
 
What is a half crown? If it's the decorative end cap on each cathead you may be better off to make it yourself out of card stock. Paint some card stock gold or whatever color you prefer then sketch out the pattern with dark ink and cut it out with a scalpel or scissor. As it is such a small scale, thick card stock would be the same as a carving that is an inch or two thick. There are probably a lot more ways to do it including carving out of wood. I sketched the crown shape similar to the modern day crown on Victory at 0.16X0.16" (4.1mmX 4.1mm). Hope this is at least a little help.
