Loosely modelled on one of the 'Siegfried' class of the Imperial German Navy, it is believed to have been owned originally by Lord Adolf Frederik Willem Lodewijk Jacob van Pallandt, who died aged 11 in 1911.
His sister then inherited it, before gifting the model to the vendor's father in 1970. The auction house believe the inscription to the base which reads RE/g and 46/06 represents the cipher of the Queen of Holland at the time and the week and year the boat was built - 46 of 1906.
Estimate £30,000-50,000.
