1943 RN Motor Launch Boat Brass Name Plate From HMS ML 589 Class Fairmile B 

You definitely won't find another 11943 RN Motor Launch Boat Brass Name Plate From HMS ML 589 Class Fairmile B as both the plate and wooden plinth came from the actual boat!

The plaque is in very good condition with a few minor surface scuffs/scratches but what a piece of naval history from the iconic coastal vessels and submarine chasers of WW2!
