The Gripsholm of 1957.
This is a photo of a model of the Gripsholm that Carl-Gustaf has acquired in 2010, with a Gripsholm postcard as a backdrop. The model is built by the German model maker Risawoleska. The scale is 1:1250, i.e. the length of the model is 15,5 cm. The model was purchased through the retailer Galerie Maritim in Hamburg. http://www.risawoleska.de/ http://www.galerie-maritim.de/start.html
