Model Shipways Belaying Pins, Walnut 13/32" (10mm) 40 Pack($6.39Value)

Description

Secure your ship's running rigging with authentic Model Shipways Walnut Belaying Pins. This pack contains 40 turned pins measuring 13/32" (10mm). Crafted from high-quality walnut, these fittings offer a natural texture and color that look far superior to painted metal or plastic on a wooden model. Belaying pins were designed as "quick release" fasteners for ropes. For years, historians believed they appeared in the mid-17th century, but excavations of the Mary Rose, which sank in 1545, revealed their use at least a century earlier. Use these 10mm pins to bring that level of documented history and functional realism to your scale project.
