Outside every passenger cabin door on the ship there is a holder for noticers and mail which is in the shape of a fish.
Unfortunately these sometimes seem to be the victim of souvenir hunters and not only are they a one-off item but they were made in Italy about ten years ago.
Anyway a couple of our crew members removed one and made a mould from it. They used this to make a resin cast that was then carefully painted up with metallic paints. I kid you not you can't tell the difference and I was amazed at what a superb job they did.
