Luke,
good detective work going on here !
Some points...........
Have had a look at what I would call 'standard' Gaunt tablets, with the 'eye & tape-measure' method (must get some calipers) & I would say they should be more like 8mm x 3.5mm with 1mm high letters !
IMO Keith's(?) NELSON appears to be a modified copy with the old 'curved down' pennant 'cipped-out' to look more like an origional?? The side Griffin's heads are a little small(only my opinion again), the Mermaid's arms are up above her head, probably to help lift up those over-large breasts? The straight 'N' is still a problem ,for me , but at least it has the correct 9 'lames'(planks) on the hull. Some copies only have 8 !! The sail 'creases' are very crudely done also.The tablet is on the wrong area (?)& looks to have one of these larger 'copy' types again .
Cheers !
Steve
