Beautifully made -museum quality. I think you can assume it is a Royal Navy 4th rate frigate late 18th century likely saw service in the American revolution where relatively lower draft vessels of 50 guns were built and commissioned expressly for that purpose. I can't determine from the photos the entire placement of guns. it's just possible it is HMS Antelope -if it is there's quite a bit of history about her.
